Pitching
The key to Bourne's success always has been his ability to keep hitters off balance by changing speeds and spotting his pitches. He can get groundballs when he needs them in a jam. His stuff becomes less sharp as he gets into the late innings. He's almost as effective against lefthanders as he is versus righthanders.
Defense & Hitting
Bourne does an average job of holding runners. He isn't especially quick off the mound but generally fields his position adequately. Bourne is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Bourne has some pop in his swing.
2025 Outlook
AA isn't the right place for Bourne. Expect the Sask Yellow Jackets to send him down for some minor retooling. I just don't know if The Sask Yellow Jackets are ever going to get what they expect out of him.
