Nathan Goranson
NJ/PA Scout-Contributor

The top 2026 first baseman in NJ has the frame for power with a physical build of 6 '2 and 200 lbs. He operates with a smooth stroke that is very repeatable and under control. Burwell uses a moderate leg lift to gather himself and then snaps the barrel through the zone with bat speeds upwards of 85.7 mph. The repeatability of his swing produces an 82% sweet spot accuracy with a 93 mph average exit velocity. His top-end strength and bat speed help deliver the 100.2 mph exit velocity and max distance of 382 feet. 


Burwell is an above average runner for his size and position with a 7.08 60 yd dash time, reaching 19.5mph top speed. His fielding actions while at first base are athletic and fluid. He has a loose and whippy arm action that has projectability for more arm strength as he develops.
