2 pick in the 2024 MLB draft who has excelled at three levels of the minor leagues this season, will be promoted next week to make his major league debut for the Cincinnati Reds. The 22-year-old Burns relies on an upper-90s fastball, and his 86 to 90 mph slider is possibly the best breaking ball in the minor leagues. Burns is 7-3 with a 1.77 ERA and 89 strikeouts in 66 minor league innings. Through Friday's loss, the Reds were 16th overall in team ERA at 3.90 and 10th with a 1.23 WHIP. Pitching for Double-A Chattanooga this season, Burns went 6-1 with a 1.29 ERA in eight starts before landing in Louisville.
