2019 CBD TOP 100 COUNTDOWN: 54. TANNER BURNS (AUBURN)

Ranked as the 33rd best prospect coming out of high school by Perfect Game, Tanner Burns lived up to the hype as a freshman with Auburn in 2018.

The New York Yankees took a shot at him in the 37th round of the 2017 MLB Draft, but he turned it down.

The 6-foot, right-handed pitcher was fabulous for the Tigers as a freshman posting a 3.01 ERA in 86.2 innings pitched (17 starts) with 77 strikeouts and a 1.27 WHIP.

At 210 pounds, Fletcher has a solid frame and delivery that allows him to throw easy gas.

He has the ability to become one of the best pitchers in the SEC this season.
