CINCINNATI — The Reds officially signed first round pick Chase Burns last week. Cincinnati took the right-hander with the No. 2 pick in the 2024 MLB Draft.
Pitching expert Rob Friedman is a big fan of what Burns can do on the mound.
"He's gonna be a star," Friedman tweeted.
He's followed Burns for quite some time. It's a good sign for the Reds' newest top pick. Check out the tweet, plus some video of the 23-year-old below:
