Ryan Burrowes
Hitting scouting report · 80Grade
Scouting summary
Burrowes looks like a player with a real chance to reach the majors because he has enough athleticism, speed, and on-base ability to stay relevant even if the bat never becomes more than average. The upside case is a shortstop who can add strength, reduce the swing-and-miss, and become a table-setting regular with some extra-base support; the floor is a versatile glove-first infielder who bounces around the roster. Given the current offensive shape, the more conservative expectation is a utility infielder whose value is driven by versatility, steals, and passable contact skill. Continued progress with the glove at shortstop will matter, because if he cannot hold the position the bat will have to carry more of the profile.
