Well, let me tell ya somethin’ about this young feller, Chase Burns. Born way over yonder in Naples, Italy, on January 16, 2003, this boy’s been makin’ waves ever since he was just a little one. His folks, Trinetti and David Burns, they were livin’ there ’cause David was doin’ some military work. Now, Chase, he ain’t your average feller, no sir. He’s got a big ol’ future ahead of him in baseball, and he’s makin’ quite a name for himself.
Chase ain’t just some regular guy off the street. He’s a pitcher for the Tennessee Volunteers baseball team. That’s a big deal, you know? And he’s only a sophomore. The boy’s got talent in his arm, and he’s gonna show folks what he’s made of. He stands a good six foot three, all muscle, and weighs about 210 pounds. That’s one strong young man. When he throws, folks sit up and pay attention. He’s got what they call a ‘triple-digit fastball’ and a ‘slider’ that’ll make a batter’s knees knock together. They say his pitches are somethin’ to behold, and I believe ’em. I’ve seen some young fellers throw hard, but Chase? He’s somethin’ special.
Now, I hear tell that Chase wasn’t always down in Tennessee. No, he was born in Italy, and that’s a long way from where he calls home now. His family settled down in Gallatin, Tennessee, after he was born. His sister, Breanna, she’s the older one, and I reckon she’s proud of her little brother. Even though he was born across the ocean, Chase has always thought of Tennessee as his home. Now he’s out there, working hard, and dreamin’ of big things.
But let’s not get ahead of ourselves here. This young man, he’s just startin’. The big leagues, they ain’t easy to get into. He’s workin’ his way up, and there’s talk about the 2024 draft. If things go right, the Cincinnati Reds might just take a chance on him. If they do, he’ll be the first Italian-born pitcher in a long time to make it into the Major Leagues. Ain’t that somethin’?
Chase, he’s makin’ a name for himself not just ‘cause of how hard he can throw, but because of the work he’s put in. I’ve heard folks sayin’ he’s one of the top draft picks in 2024. That don’t come easy. It takes a lotta hard work and dedication. And don’t get me started on that bonus he got from the Reds—$9.25 million! That’s a whole lotta money, and it sure shows they believe in him. But don’t you go thinkin’ that money’s gonna spoil him. This boy’s got his head on straight, and he knows the work ain’t over yet.
Now, I reckon some folks might not know where to start if they’re lookin’ up a feller like Chase Burns. Well, you can always go online and check out records, find out about his family and such. There’s plenty of places where you can dig deep into his history. Some folks might even find out somethin’ about their own roots while they’re at it. I think it’s a mighty fine thing to know where you come from, even if it’s halfway across the world.
So, what’s next for Chase Burns? Well, like I said, he’s workin’ his way up. I wouldn’t be surprised if we see him pitchin’ in the big leagues someday. It’s a tough road, but with his arm, his drive, and a little bit of luck, there’s no tellin’ just how far this boy can go. And when he makes it? You can bet your boots that people will remember the name Chase Burns. Ain’t no doubt about it.
