DirtySox Posted July 18, 2022 Share Posted July 18, 2022 I wonder how much it would take to sign Cannon at this point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmags Posted July 18, 2022 Share Posted July 18, 2022 surprised a little by lampe to guardians. Not so guardians like, but that's the stuff you can do with comp picks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fathom Posted July 18, 2022 Share Posted July 18, 2022 For no other reason that it’s a pitcher from state of Georgia and someone who dropped during the season, I’m going to throw a Chris Beck comparison 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtySox Posted July 18, 2022 Share Posted July 18, 2022 (edited) BA's scouting report. Quote Jonathan Cannon Georgia RHP Notes: HT: 6-6 | Wt: 213 | B-T: R-R Commit/Drafted: Never Drafted Age At Draft: 22 BA Grade: 50/High Tools: Fastball: 50. Slider: 50. Changeup: 55. Cutter: 50. Control: 60. Cannon ranked as the No. 67 prospect in the 2021 draft class and was one of the highest-ranking collegiate players to go unselected. A draft-eligible sophomore in 2021, Cannon returned for his third season with Georgia in 2022, where he continued to show some of the best command in the country with a deep arsenal of solid offerings. Cannon is a tall and lean righthander listed at 6-foot-6, 213 pounds, who attacks with a sinker, slider, cutter mix and induces plenty of ground balls and weak contact. He sits around 94 mph and touches 97 with his four-seam fastball but uses a two-seam variant frequently as well. His most used secondary is a slider in the low-to-mid 80s that generated whiffs at a 31% rate and induced plenty of ground balls. A new addition to his arsenal this spring was a cutter around 88-90 mph that gives him another option against lefthanders, and while he didn’t throw the pitch much, he also has a mid-80s changeup. None of Cannon’s pitches grades out as plus, but all of them look like 50- or 55-grade offerings. Cannon is a bit of an old-school pitcher who works in the zone heavily and likes to pitch to weak contact, so it’s possible a team will shorten his pitch mix in pro ball and have him focus on missing more bats, but he has been effective as a groundball artist who rarely issues free passes. Cannon profiles as a back-of-the-rotation starter with a high-likelihood to pitch in the majors. Edited July 18, 2022 by DirtySox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DirtySox Posted July 18, 2022 Share Posted July 18, 2022 Cannon is going to be a guy that absolutely carves up his initial low level assignment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
