Drafted in the 8th round (245th overall) by the Cleveland Guardians in 2009 (signed for $35,000).
View Draft Report
Senior righthander Cory Burns pitched over the top last year, then dropped down to sidearm this year and is 88-90 mph with Wiffle Ball movement that makes him really hard to square up. He also has a decent slider and changeup and should be a late-round pick.
