Chase Burns was called up by the Cincinnati Reds to make his big league debut on Tuesday, and not a soul who watched him work will ever forget what they saw.
Burns, the #2 overall pick in the 2024 MLB Draft out of Wake Forest, struck out the side in the Top of the 1st - including AL MVP frontrunner Aaron Judge - and went on to record strikeouts as each of the first six outs he recorded. In that stretch, he fanned Judge, Cody Bellinger, and Paul Goldschmidt back to back to back, with each of that trio having once been MVPs of their respective leagues in recent memory.
