Burnes is coming off an incredible season with the Baltimore Orioles with a 15-9 record to go along with a 2.92 ERA and 181 strikeouts which is why he will certainly be getting a massive contract in free agency.

While
Burnes is clearly an outstanding pitcher, insiders believe that the one concern with his game is his recent decline in strikeout rate which has gone from 35.1% to 23.1% over the last 4 years.
