Chase Burns Outlook for Fantasy Baseball

After being drafted with the second overall pick out of Wake Forest last season, the Reds opted to shut Burns down for the remainder of the season. He made his professional debut with High-A Dayton but quickly progressed to Double-A and, eventually, Triple-A.

Through 66 total innings in the MiLB, the hard-throwing right-hander posted an elite 89:13 K:BB with a 1.77 ERA and a 0.77 WHIP.

Given his top-tier strikeout upside and stellar command, he should be viewed as a must-add player in all leagues heading into Week 14.
