Stat Review
How does Zack Burdi compare to other relievers?
This section compares his stats with all relief pitcher seasons from the previous three seasons (minimum 30 innings)*. The bar represents the player's percentile rank. For example, if the bar is halfway across, then the player falls into the 50th percentile for that stat and it would be considered average.

* Exit Velocity, Barrels/BBE %, Balls Hit 95+ MPH %, and Spin Rate are benchmarked against 2019 data (min 30 IP). See here for more exit velocity/barrels stats plus an explanation of current limitations with that data set.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2021
2019
Both Burdi brothers -- Zack and Nick -- can touch triple digits but both have dealt with the elbow trouble that tends to accompany that tremendously rare physical skill. Zack Burdi went down with Tommy John surgery in 2017 after blazing his way up to Triple-A, and has taken some time to fully recover his velocity. His command was never great pre-injury, but it certainly has been problematic since his return to the mound. He throws hard and has the potential to be an impact, late-inning reliever, but there is a chasm between his current abilities and that future. He struggled mightily in his debut and is probably not worth the roster spot in a reset league. Keeper and dynasty leaguers with deep benches can take a spec on him to see how much that chasm closes in 2021.
Tommy John surgery ended Burdi's 2017 campaign early and cost him most of 2018 as well, as he returned to throw just 6.1 rehab innings at the rookie-league level late in the year. In 77.2 total professional innings, the 2016 26th overall pick owns an excellent 32.8 K% and a poor 12.4 BB%. Some scouts put a legitimate 80 grade on Burdi's fastball, and he also features a pair of strong secondaries in his slider and changeup, but his command is poor. His fastball was sitting in the mid-90s in his rehab outings after previously sitting around 100 mph, and if that doesn't tick back up, Burdi may never reach his potential as an elite bullpen arm. If the velocity comes back after an offseason of rest, Burdi could become a weapon very quickly.
