Jonathan Cannon is a fantasy baseball SP prospect sleeper and minor leaguer to know. Read our MLB prospects outlooks for fantasy baseball rookies and call-ups.
PROSPECT: Jonathan Cannon, SP, Chicago White Sox
ANALYSIS: A third-round pick by the White Sox last year out of the University of Georgia, the 6'6" Cannon put up college statistics that may leave you wanting at the surface level (3.71 ERA and 8.1 K/9), but he consistently got through five innings for his team.
Cannon's gone out this year in High-A, a year younger than the average player in the league. He has put up a similar line to his college days, though he's limiting the damage a bit more, with a 2.80 ERA over 45 innings.
Cannon's raw stuff features a pair of fastballs in the mid-90s, with his sinker getting impressive weak contact due to his added extension on the pitch. He has a cutter and change that are also average-ish pitches.
VERDICT: To truly take the next step as a starter, Cannon really needs something that has a bit more break to it – some sort of curve or slider or a variation thereof. Even without that, he's a potential inning-eater starter and the peak of his pitch profile is something like Brandon Webb's run.
