MIF Cayden Burtness (Pewaukee, 2027) is an athletic middle infielder who will continue to add to his 5-foot-8, 160-pound frame. He showcased impressive twitch and speed, running a 6.86 60-yard dash which is the 10th best mark of the day. With the bat, he operates from an open setup with a clean and easy rhythmic move. Burtness matched 15g of rotational acceleration with a 71.1 mph bat speed to produce a 97 mph max exit velocity and a 91.4 mph average. His swing stays on plane exceptionally well, which allowed him to secure an 83% sweet spot rate and drive the ball 357 feet. Defensively, he moves with fluidity and ease with a quick and twitchy first step which allows him to range to balls to both sides. His 85 mph throws across the infield were accurate with carry and he showed the ability to throw from multiple arm angles. Burtness continues to shine in front our staff and he’s poised for a big 2027 spring and summer season.

+ Cayden Burtness, MIF (Pewaukee): Standing in at a compact 5-foot-7, 155-pounds with some twitch and athleticism in his profile. The rising junior improved his 60-yard dash time to 7.04 and features a simple approach at the plate that produced a strong round of batting practice. He has a short trigger, works his hands back and attacks the pitch with a compact, slightly uphill swing that produced a max exit velocity of 93.6 mph during his round. The bat-to-ball stood out in game, going for five hits across seven at-bats including a double. On the field, he stays light on his feet and has confident actions while attacking the ball, slowing up to recieve it in rhythm to get it out of the glove quickly.

4/17/25

Uncommitted, Burtness was hot last week, in two games, the infielder had five hits in six at bats, one walk, a double, three RBIs, and four runs in two wins against Reedsburg and Cudahy.

4/12/25

Uncommitted. Trim 5-foot-7, 150-pound frame with room for added strength in the future. Batted fifth and started at second base for the Pirates. Burtness especially stood out with his defense in this look; showing advanced and highly-athletic actions up the middle both pre-game and in-game, while pairing that with a confident glove. He also showed above-average range for the position. Offensively, the right-handed hitter has a middle of the field approach and looks to keep the ball on a line. He finished the day 2-for-3 with a walk. A name to continue to follow in the state’s sophomore class.

2/26/25

+ INF Cayden Burtness (Pewaukee, 2027) surprised our staff with the overall athleticism and twitch in his profile while also possessing quite a bit of feel for the game. Burtness showed considerable burst off the line in his 60 yard dash and jumped one of the top marks of the day in the vertical jump at 27 inches. Burtness was 87 mph across the infield on defense with soft hands and very clean actions working through the baseball. Burtness is a name to monitor going forward.
