Prospect of the Day:  RHP Hiram Burgos

Despite a 5.62 ERA in his professional debut with the Helena Brewers in 2009, Burgos compiled impressive peripheral numbers and was my Breakout Player of the Year for the 2010 season. Unfortunately, he struggled with the Timber Rattlers. A year later, he posted a 4.89 ERA with Brevard County and began falling off the prospect radar.

This year, the right-hander out of Bethune-Cookman University has roared back onto the scene with a very Mike Fiers-ian performance. He has struck out 90 batters in 89.2 innings this year and only walked 25. Opponents are only hitting .197 against Burgos this season, and he has only surrendered three home runs.

He has done all of this without overpowering stuff. His fastball sits in the high-80s and low-90s — depending on the day — and his slider has reportedly been his best pitch this season. Burgos really pounds the strike zone and gets head of hitters, allowing him to get ahead of the count and get to his offspeed pitches.

I was exceedingly skeptical that Burgos would successfully make the jump to Double-A Huntsville. Not only has he handled the promotion well, but he is thriving with the Stars. His 2.42 ERA through 48.1 innings with Double-A outperforms Tyler Thornburg and perhaps puts him in the lead for the Pitcher of the Year award.
