Burris, who was the Northwest Crossroads Conference pitcher of the year, has a 0.97 ERA.
After the left-hander was named the Northwest Crossroads Conference pitcher of the year last season, he knew he had more to accomplish.
But Burris’ overall savvy has remained his calling card as he carried a 0.97 ERA with 31 strikeouts in 21 2/3 innings into the Brickies’ game against Boone Grove on Thursday. Howard, also a lefty, would know. He starred at Clark before graduating in 2008, had an all-conference career at Central Michigan and was picked in the seventh round of the 2011 MLB draft by the Baltimore Orioles, reaching Double-A in his three seasons in their organization.
“He’s just something that the hitters have never seen with where he throws from. He’s not a guy who throws 90 — not saying he can’t. But he throws from here, and he just leaves some hitters who can’t see it. It’s that deception. They can’t pick it up.” “I remember we were playing Andrean at PNW, and our starter had to get pulled early because he was sick. Coach was like, ‘Burris, go get hot.’ I was like, ‘Wow, he’s really trusting me to come into the game and just shove against the 3A state champs. He must have a lot of confidence in me, and he must see something I’m not seeing.’ I went all the way to the ninth inning. I was like, ‘Oh, I probably can be the dude.’ But I was still a freshman, and I still had to work.
