Scouting Report

  • At the plate Burnitz is an absolute power threat. He can turn on most any fastball and thrives on pitches up and in. He has great patience and hits lefties and righties equally well. Has a strong, accurate arm.
Flaws
  • On breaking pitches, Burnitz suffers. Once he has committed his swing he is unable to check himself or keep his weight back.
Career Potential
  • Good power hitter starting to slow down.
