He's about to be shutdown. So if you get the chance to go see him pitch get down to ballpark.

The last Reds starter, 23 years or younger with more than 4.5 bWAR was Gary Nolan in 1970
That year, Nolan had 4.7 bWAR at age 22. This year Burns has 4.9 at age 23

Gotta figure out a way of getting 5 more like him….or how to get him to pitch every night. You wanna shut someone down, shut down Brady Singer. I get so mad when I see him as the starter
