Scouting Report: Beau Burrows
Pittsburgh Pirates | SP
Overall
Summary
Mike Burrows is a right-handed pitcher acquired by the Houston Astros in the offseason. Through nine starts, he has posted a 5.72 ERA with just two quality starts. However, his underlying metrics suggest better performance than his ERA indicates, with an expected ERA 2.12 runs lower than actual. He recently threw a dominant 7-inning shutout against Cincinnati but followed it with a poor outing against Seattle (7 runs in 5.2 innings). Burrows is struggling with his fastball (.325 BA against) and slider (.318 BA against, 89.7 exit velo), while his ground ball rate has declined 4% from last season and ranks in the 26th percentile.
