Chase Burns

[OlRockyTop]

Is he the best pitcher in college baseball or am I just a complete homer?

Homer…..but he is really good, especially as a true freshman. I’d take one or two of him every year for sure!!

 

[txbo]

Ol Miss can hit. This weekend is going to say a lot about our entire pitching staff.

 

[volfanatic24]

i got to watch him pitch against USCjr. dude is a straight stud

 

[6-4-3]

He is really good. Agree. But it is a long season. Let’s let him build a body of work and revisit. As mentioned, the next two weeks will provide some clarity for sure.

 

[IndianaVol13]

He's a stud and has a future in MLB. But college baseball has some great arms.

 

[TheMookieMonster]

He’s very good. Very good. But, he isn’t going to rest at a 0.68 ERA for much longer. Competition is going to ramp up starting tonight, and as a true freshmen he is going to have some growing pains.

Still, thrilled to have a stud like him on this team. Let’s get more of those.

I think Pete Hansen & Tristan Stevens are better. Florida State probably has 2 All American-type starters in their rotation. Gonzaga has some really good pitchers. Long Beach State has a stud pitcher. Burns is great and will be an All American candidate in the future, but he’s not even the best pitcher on this team.

Hansen, when the ump gives him the entire strike zone, plus half of the opposite batter's box, is the best pitcher in college baseball.

The games against the Sisters of the Poor University and School for the Blind are over. We are about to find a lot of things out about our team.

 

[3-2Count]

Let’s not forget this “kid” shut down TX and made them look silly. I was at the SC game as well and they were baffled by the slider. The road SEC is a different beast but he’s got the stuff. Excited to see him compete tonight!

Why do you think Tidwell is better than Burns?

He is really good but other teams have some good pitchers top.

Will be interesting to see how he does next 2 weekends. Ole Miss can really swing the bats.

 

[tennrich1]

I certainly don’t think he’s the best in NCAA (yet) but I LOVE his approach and attitude. He’s still learning the approach for every outting and the consistency it takes. Some call it The Process. Having watched baseball for 55 years…he passes the eye test for sure. Hopefully his arm holds up. This weekend will be good for him ….and the Vols!

 

[VolforFootball]

He certainly looked fantastic tonight.

 

[runthrutheT]

Yes he is the best. He just gave up 2 hits and 1 run and struck out 11 verses the second best team in the country on their home field.

 

[NighthawkVol]

Yes he is the best. He just gave up 2 hits and 1 run and struck out 11 verses the second best team in the country on their home field.

And his ERA actually went up.

 

[Ghost of Archvol]

I don’t know about all of that but as the season progresses and CB matures, we are all going to come to the realization that CB is an automatic win.

 

[WJPRUITTE2794]

Sign Frank Anderson to a lifetime contract. Him getting burns here speaks volumes about what kids think of him. And his development skills are obviously above par

 

[Zvols]

Why do you think Tidwell is better than Burns?

He was a freshman all American on a team that went to Omaha and is universally considered to be a top 15 pick in the draft. Until Burns gets that far or we see regression from Tidwell, he’s the #1arm

Who cares?! They’re both Vols. We are so fortunate to have both.

 

[Berry4Heisman14]

He’s unreal but I think he needs to add a pitch or two to his arsenal

Yep, a few more outings like tonight and his ERA will be up to 0.8… oh well, the 0.68 was good while it lasted.

Burns just showed again why he’s the #1 pitcher on this team

 

[vol66]

Why does someone have to the best, can’t we have a staff that throws heat? C’mon people. We just beat a traditional powerhouse at their place on a Friday night with a Freshman. Geez.
