Zane Burns, a highly polished right handed pitcher in Arizona's 2025 class, stands out for his exceptional pitchability and impressive arsenal. He usually demonstrates outstanding command, and effective use of a three pitch mix across all areas of the strike zone. His lively fastball reaches 92 mph with accuracy, complemented by two offspeed pitches. His changeup, thrown in the low 80s with conviction and consistent arm speed, exhibits late fade against both left handed and right handed hitters. The slider, a sharp, lateral offering in the upper 70s, serves as a devastating weapon against righties. An athletic presence on the mound with remaining projection, Burns has the potential to further establish himself as one of the most well-rounded pitching prospects in the region.
