Looking at the 2015 Draft: 25th Best Prospect



Continuing our look at the 2015 MLB First Year Players Draft we take a look at the #25 ranked prospect expected to enter the draft. As always we will include the mini scouting report from MLB.com as we introduce the #25 prospect, Beau Burrows. Burrows is a RHP from Weatherford High School in Texas. 

Here is the write up from MLB.com:

Scouting grades: Fastball: 65 | Curveball: 55 | Changeup: 55 | Control: 50 | Overall: 50
Outside of Justin Hooper, Burrows threw consistently harder than any other pitcher on the high school showcase circuit during the summer. He came out averaging 94 mph and peaking at 96 mph at the Perfect Game National in June and was still firing 94-95 mph bullets at the World Wood Bat Association World Championship four months later.
Burrows lacks prototypical size at 6-foot-1, but he generates his velocity with a quick arm and works down in the strike zone thanks to his high three-quarters arm slot. His delivery also helps him stay on top of his power curveball, which can be a plus pitch. His changeup has its moments as well.
Though Burrows doesn't have much physical projection remaining, he already has enough stuff and just needs more consistency. He's committed to Texas A&M, as has Ashe Russell, one of the other top right-handers in the 2015 high school class.
