Why Reds Think They Can Fix Chase Burns Quickly After Tipping Pitches vs. Red Sox
- Rookie right-hander Chase Burns struggled in his second MLB start on Monday, allowing seven runs and recording only one out against the Boston Red Sox in Boston.
- Burns' difficulties stemmed from tipping his pitches, which Red Sox manager Alex Cora, known for reading pitchers, and their offense exploited effectively during their good offensive execution.
- The Reds are monitoring Burns’ pitch count closely and building a bio-kinetics system to identify subtle mechanical cues to help correct these issues before his upcoming start versus the Philadelphia Phillies.
- Burns threw a near-100 mph fastball and a hard slider but generated only one swing and miss on 33 pitches, causing catcher Tyler Stephenson to say the lack of swing-and-miss ‘definitely raised some flags.’
- Reds manager Terry Francona expressed hope Monday’s performance won’t hinder Burns’ progress, while Burns said he is trying to ‘flush it and see what works’ as part of typical rookie growing pains.
