Drew Burress - Prospect Profile

Jim Callis - MLB - September 16th: "Burress homered nine times in his first eight college games and has gone deep 44 times in two seasons while batting .357/.490/.756. He's a disciplined hitter with plenty of bat speed and strength in his compact 5-foot-9 frame, and he has the solid speed and plus arm strength to play all three outfield positions."

Joel Reuter - Bleacher Report - August 20th: "Burress was the best freshman in the country in 2024, hitting .381/.512/.821 with 25 home runs, but he struggled to a .125/.282/.219 line over 78 plate appearances in the Cape Cod League. He continued to produce this spring while becoming more of a focal point for opposing pitchers, and his combination of power, hit tool and plate discipline gives him a great chance to maximize his tools and turn in a huge junior campaign."

Jonathan Mayo - MLB - July 17th: "Burress is coming off a .333/.469/.693 year with 19 homers and 10 steals as a sophomore at Georgia Tech. It's an advanced bat with more thump than you'd expect from a 5-foot-9 hitter, giving off a little bit of a right-handed Sal Frelick vibe, but with more impact."

Baseball America - July 16th: "Burress has an unorthodox setup in the box, but he has thunderous bat speed. On top of demonstrating an advanced feel for the barrel, Burress has a career overall chase rate of just 18%. He has shown the ability to drive the baseball to all fields and has had no issue getting to his power in-game."
