Indianapolis Indians News Release
INDIANAPOLIS - The Indianapolis Indians, in conjunction with the Pittsburgh Pirates, announced today that the organization's No. 11 prospect (MLB Pipeline), right-handed starting pitcher Mike Burrows, has been promoted from Double-A Altoona to Triple-A.
Burrows, 22, is currently tied for the Eastern League lead with 12 starts and ranks sixth among league leaders with a 2.94 ERA (17er/52.0ip) this season. In his dozen outings, he also ranks among league leaders with a .199 average against (6th), 69 strikeouts (7th) and 1.10 WHIP (10th). Prior to his final start with Altoona on June 14, he led all league qualifiers with a 2.13 ERA (12er/50.2ip).
On May 26 at Harrisburg, Burrows surrendered just two hits over a career-long 7.0 scoreless innings. He then followed that outing with a season-high nine strikeouts in 5.0 one-hit innings two starts later on June 8 (1) at Reading, just one strikeout shy of his career-high 10 set on July 7, 2021 with High-A Greensboro vs. Asheville. In six starts on the road, he is 2-0 with a 0.61 ERA (2er/29.2ip) and 42 strikeouts.
Burrows was originally selected by Pittsburgh in the 11th round (324th overall) of the 2018 First-Year Player Draft out of Waterford (Conn.) High School.
