Peyton Burdick is a fantasy baseball OF prospect sleeper and minor leaguer to know. Read our MLB prospects outlooks for fantasy baseball rookies and call-ups.
PROSPECT: Peyton Burdick, OF, Miami Marlins
ANALYSIS: The Marlins selected Burdick in the third round in 2019 out of Wright State, and immediately his power made an impact, as he slugged 11 home runs in just 69 games in his pro debut that season. Burdick has struggled to have the same success with contact since, as he has powered out 38 minor league home runs in the upper levels over 2021-2022, but he has also hit .220 in that time before struggling in 32 MLB games to a .207/.284/.380 slash line.
Demoted to Triple-A to open 2023, Burdick has shown power and athleticism, covering all three outfield spots, hitting seven home runs, and stealing three bases in the first 14 games of the season. The issue is that he’s using a very pull-heavy approach (53% of batted balls to the pull side) and striking out at a 36% clip.
VERDICT: The strikeout rate and change in approach are worrisome, but Miami will be looking for any offense it can muster. No need to pick Burdick up right now, but he’s worth watching to see if he maintains as the season continues.
