Biographical Information

Pitcher Mike Burrows was drafted by the Pittsburgh Pirates in the 11th round of the 2018 amateur draft out of a high school in Connecticut. He did not do much that was remarkable in his first two pro seasons, although he did pitch 14 innings without allowing an earned run for the GCL Pirates in 2018. In 2019, he was 2-3, 4.33 in 11 starts for the West Virginia Black Bears of the New York-Penn League, logging just 43 2/3 innings. He then had to sit out the 2020 season when the minor leagues were shut down by the COVID-19 pandemic.

When he returned to action in 2021, he made 13 starts for the Greensboro Grasshoppers of the High-A East, going 2-2, 2.20. He also played in the Arizona Fall League following the season. In 2022, he started the year with the Altoona Curve of the AA Eastern League and managed to secure an invite to pitch for the National League team at the 2022 Futures Game played at Dodger Stadium on July 16th. He was 4-2, 2.94 in 12 starts for Altoona before being promoted to the AAA Indianapolis Indians, where he was 1-4. 5.31 in another 12 games. His 94 1/3 innings that year were almost double his previous personal high, and his 111 strikeouts were another personal high.
