Austin Burden is a 2021 OF/3B with a 5-10 155 lb. frame from Ripon, CA who attends Big Valley Christian High School. Medium, projectable build with square shoulders and a lean frame and has room to fill throughout moving forward with added strength. Ran a 7.85 60-yard dash. Primary outfielder, short steps moving towards the ball, fields the ball out front with some bend, developing footwork through release, uses a short crow hop to generate momentum, shorter arm action through the back. Shows actions moving towards the ball in the infield, fields the ball out front and gets on top of throws across the diamond and shows accuracy to first base. Righthanded hitter, begins with a wide base and a low back elbow in the box; loads hands back at start of swing. Contact oriented approach in the box with a full swing path and looks to lift the ball at point of contact. Occasionally gets to front side early but shows ability to work all parts of the field. Very good student.
