Chris Burt  
Relief Pitcher | Chicago Cubs

Pitching
Burt is a control pitcher; when he's on he has pinpoint control. He's got a really stong arm, so he can blow it by you on occasion. His slider is sharp and breaks both horizontally and vertically. Burt's fastball is a tick above average, in the 90-91 MPH range on most nights. Burt also has a decent changeup. He attacks lefties and righties with similar success.

Defense & Hitting
Burt is quick to the plate, making him tough to run on. Burt fields his position well. Burt is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Burt has some pop in his swing.

2010 Outlook
Burt is ready for the big time. The Chicago Cubs will call him up as soon as they can figure out who to send down. Burt has arguably the best stuff in baseball.
