Nick Burdi Looks Amazing
4 years agoPittsburgh Pirates relief pitcher Nick Burdi was impressive in spring training earlier this year and has picked up where he left off in summer camp workouts. “He looks amazing,” starting pitcher Jameson Taillon said. “No matter how many injuries this dude’s had, he still throws 100 mph. His slider’s still disgusting.” Burdi had Tommy John surgery in 2017 and then had surgery to relieve symptoms of thoracic outlet syndrome last year. But he's back on the mound and is hitting triple digits with his heater, and he also has a swing-and-miss slider. Burdi has a chance to play a key role in Pittsburgh's bullpen in 2020, but he's off the fantasy radar for now.
