Chase Burns Invited To Spring Training
4 mins agoCincinnati Reds pitching prospect Chase Burns has been invited to major-league spring training camp in 2025. Per MLB Pipeline, Burns is Cincy's No. 1 prospect. The 22-year-old hard-throwing right-hander was the second overall pick in last year's draft out of the Wake Forest. He did not see any time in the minors for the Reds after being drafted last year, so he will almost certainly begin the 2025 campaign on the farm, even if he impresses at camp this spring. In addition to Burns, the Reds will take a look at some of their other top prospects in third baseman Cam Collier (No. 5), second baseman/third baseman Sal Stewart (No. 4) and shortstop Edwin Arroyo (No. 3). Burns was able to hit 100 mph with his fastball in college, so his upside is through the roof at the next level. In addition to blowing gas with his heater, Burns has a wipeout slider that draws tons of swings and misses.
