Reid Burkle (‘24 RHP) has opened some eyes early in today game. Ran the FB up to 85 MPH in the first, sitting 81-83. Plays downhill with ride through the zone. Extremely high upside, one to watch closely as the frame fills out. @PG_Uncommitted. #PGHS @PHawksBaseball pic.twitter.com/DKtBVzLDxl

Reid Burkle (2024, Cedar Rapids, Iowa) toed the rubber for Cedar Rapids Prairie in their non-conference matchup against Davenport North. The young uncommitted right-handed pitcher went 4 1/3 innings pitched on the mound, with 7 strikeouts and 6 hits given up while only allowing 2 runs to be scored.

The fastball got up to 85 MPH early on in the game, while he sat mostly 81-83 with downhill tilt and ride through the zone.
