Gary Burke  
Catcher | Free Agents

Hitting
One of the nice things about Gary is that he's a real clutch hitter. This guy can't hit a watermelon with a lampost. Let's face facts: Burke hits a lot of ground balls... and in my book, if you're slow of foot and put the ball on the ground, you're bound to get tied up in the double play. He hits righthanders and lefthanders with equal consistency.

Baserunning & Defense
His speed is below average and he's not a threat to steal. Minor league scouts have accused Burke of being a liability in the field. Runners take advantage of his weak arm.

2025 Outlook
What The Free Agents was thinking when they signed Burke to a long contract, is beyond me: this guy flat-out sucks.
