2023 RHP Parker Burgess was the best arm on the day for the Langley Blaze, sitting 88-90 T91 with the fastball. He attacked hitters with both the fastball and curveball as he didn’t want any hitters through two innings. He was getting swings/misses on both pitches and the breaking ball was 71-75 with some horizontal break to it. He was able to keep the curveball down in the zone for strikes or pound it in the dirt when needed. Our first look this year and it was an effective outing for Burgess. Illinois commit.
Burgess, a 6 foot-4 200-pound RHP showed electric stuff at the PBR Pro Case. The Illinois commit had a good feel for all his pitches getting a head early and often. On the mound the fastball was heavy topping 91mph, the curveball showed late bite and a change up with some heavy arm side run. The body is advanced with a strong long athletic frame that will defiantly play at the next level.
2023 RHP Parker Burgess (Illinois commit) had the best showing on the mound our staff has seen so far in Arizona. He came on in the 8th inning and struck out the first batter he faced with three consecutive fastballs at 94 mph. He proceeded to sit 92-94 through two dominant innings where he didn’t need to use the breaking ball much. He punched out five and flashed a breaking ball at 73-75. It’s not the best we’ve seen his breaking ball but he didn’t need it much on Monday night.
Burgess is a big strong right-hander that was recently named to the Junior National Team roster and this was his first appearance south of the border in almost two years. Big 6-foot-4, 200-pound frame that will only carry more size didn’t have his best stuff on this day as the fastball command was scattered and he wasn’t able to land his curveball, but the compete was never turned off and you can see why Burgess is a well-known name in the college recruiting committee. The arm works and history suggests he is going to spin the baseball. The fastball was up to 89 and although he did throw a lot of pitches in his three inning stint, he kept attacking, kept his composure, and showed that on days without his best stuff, he’ll still go to war for you. We will be able to see his next appearance as it will have Canada across his chest as he participates in the JNT camp in Ajax.
6-foot-2, 165-pounds, two-way guy for u17 Oshawa elite. Projectable frame, tall and long, present athleticism. On the mound, he worked 80-82, T83, extension out front, worked downhill, allowing his fastball to play up. Current feel for a curveball with 12/6 shape and depth—high ceiling on the mound. Also showed well on the position player side, bat works with some looseness with an 82 exit velocity. Was 78 in the infield, and the frame plays at a corner.
