10/16/24 | Cincinnati Reds Top 10 Prospects For 2025 Fantasy Baseball. 1. RHP Chase Burns | 22 | NCAA | 2025
Burns set a new single-season NCAA record with 191 strikeouts in 100 innings for Wake Forest. That’s the kind of math I can get behind. Seems like he’s striking out about two guys per innings, which seems like a good plan. His slider just isn’t something college hitters are used to seeing. Isn’t something any hitter is used to seeing, really. Plays like an 80 when he’s commanding it, which he usually is. Usually commands his 100 mph fastball well, too, and while he’s got a little Kirby in him in the sense that people hit his fastball more than makes obvious sense, he’s not doomed to that fate, given his incredible athleticism and clear growth arc across time.

6/24/24 | Strike 1: Colorado Rockies likely to make a the safe draft pick. Strike 1: The “Draft” part of the “Draft and Develop” philosophy being employed by the Colorado Rockies will fall under the microscope again in the middle of July. Colorado has the third overall pick in the first round of this year's MLB Draft, with a chance to land one of several top college prospects to add to their stockpile of high draft picks already littering their minor league system. The Rockies may very well get the chance to select the best pitcher in college baseball this season – Wake Forrest right-hander Chase Burns – or one of several talented position players, including West Virginia's JJ Wetherholt, Georgia's Charlie Condon or Travis Bazzana from Oregon State.
