Mack - 2022 MLB Draft Scouting Report - RHP - Jonathan Cannon

 


Jonathan Cannon 

RHP          Georgia 

2021 stat line - 13-G, 12-starts, 4-2, 3.98, 63.1-IP,  57-K, 13-BB


Mack's spin - 

Cannon was drafted last year, but chose to come back to Georgia to hopefully improve his draft status.

I was disappointed with his 2021 year. He was a big favorite of mine going into that season and i originally had him projected for the first round.

Right now, on my board, he's my 13th RHP as a 3rd round pick.


8-30-21 - Prospects Live - Top 50 Cape Prospects -

44. JONATHAN CANNON, RHP

GEORGIA (2022): ORLEANS FIREBIRDS

FB CB SL CH Command FV

45/55 - 45/55 40/50 45/50 4

Lean, wiry frame, athletic body with room to add overall muscle. Three pitch mix. FB plays more as a sinker 90-93. Tight, high spin slider. Induced soft contact with both Si and SL. CH developing offering. Has had issues with a swing and miss pitch, pitches to contact. Work on containing velocity through entire starts. Sits 94-96 in first innings before dropping off from 2nd inning on forward. Profiles as a back of the rotation starter with potential to move to a middle relief role.

CCBL FaBIO Evolutions: Jonathan Cannon, Georgia 

Had preseason 1st-round buzz but got off to a late start & mostly came up shorter at K & OHB after. Primary fastball is tough to barrel & drive per all 3 table rows, but K Rating fell over larger '21 BF/G totals (esp. in summer).

Jonathan Cannon, RHP, Georgia - 

If Ross isn’t the Bulldogs Friday night guy it would be because Jonathan Cannon brings a ton of experience. Cannon was a potential Top 50-75 pick this year but health reasons held him back a bit in his debut in the rotation. Cannon went out and pitched three very strong outings in the Cape to prove his stock is pointed back in the right direction. Given another year with full health he can put himself back to the range he started this year.

Cannon is a great name for a pitcher.
