Burns' stuff is electric. It's why he was the second pick in the 2024 MLB Draft and why he flew through the minors. But Major League hitters can hit triple-digit heaters if they don't have to worry about the soft stuff, and there's evidence to suggest his delivery gave that clue away.

It was a rough outing in his second Major League start for Reds rookie Chase Burns. He recorded just out and allowed seven runs on five hits. He walked two. With a man on first and nobody out, Roman Anthony hit a ground ball to Matt McLain that looked like it was going to be an easy double play.

Six days after a powerful debut against the Yankees, Cincinnati Reds prospect Chase Burns didn't get through the first inning.
