Prescott Burns  
Shortstop | Yellowknife Bluenotes

Hitting
Burns seems to become especially focused in big situations. His strong wrists and hands not only give him explosive power but also impressive bat control. He remains dangerous even with two strikes. During the last two years, he has become more patient and gotten better loft on the ball. He doesn't perform well against right-handed pitching. Prescott Burns has made a career of putting the ball to the opposite field. That's rare in this day and age.

Baserunning & Defense
His arm and range are average, and he has a tendency to get lazy with his feet. Burns isn't fast, but he's a heady baserunner who rarely gets thrown out.
