Pat Burrell Stats & Scouting Report — College Baseball, MLB Draft, Prospects
Jessica Cortez updates
Burrell has been on the Phillies' short list since they clinched the No. 1 pick. He had a monster year his first two seasons at Miami, but this season has been abbreviated by a back injury, diagnosed as a pre-stress fracture of the fifth lumbar. His status remained up in the air. Burrell is exceptionally strong and can drive balls out of the park to all fields. Whether he'll remain a third baseman, where his range is limited, or move to first base or even the outfield is still in question. His arm is solid and he comes in well on balls at third.
