Edward Burroughs
Starting Pitcher | Morocco Mayhem
Pitching Burroughs's control is among the best in the game. Burroughs also has a decent changeup. He generates few groundballs, though he keeps the ball in the park. He can hit 90 MPH but is too smart to try to get his fastball past most hitters. He attacks lefties and righties with similar success.
Defense & Hitting Burroughs's move to first base is average. He tends to fall off slightly to the first-base side of the mound, making him vulnerable to bunts toward third base. He makes up for that minor flaw by being aggressive in fielding his position. Burroughs is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Burroughs has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Morocco Mayhem have been known to use Burroughs as a pinch-runner on occasion.
2014 Outlook I really like what this guy brings to the table.
