Down on the Farm: DrB's 2011 Giants Top 50 Prospects- #32 Dan Burkhart

#32 Dan Burkhart, C. BD: 3/6/1989. 5'11", 215 lbs. B-L, T-R.

Rookie AZL: .333/.455/.687 in 18 AB. Short Season(Salem-Keizer): .328/.389/.375 in 64 AB. College(Ohio State): .354/.468/.481.

Burkhart is a lefty hitting catcher from a good D1 baseball program. Produced mainly doubles power in college. Probably got the Giants attention by hitting .295 in the Cape Cod League, a pretty tough place for hitters. Probably doesn't have much projection, if any, in his body. Projects as a backup if he makes it to the majors, but again, a LH hitting backup catcher has a lot of value.

  1. Very good defensive rep. He called his own pitches in college.
