Jonathan
Childress

6/29/17 - Carved with his advanced three-pitch mix, headlined by a big curveball that ranged between 77-81 mph. He consistently threw his breaking ball for strikes and froze hitters en route to racking up a game-high six strikeouts. Childress also beat hitters with his 87-89 mph fastball that topped out at 91. The fastball appeared to sneak up on hitters who have been barreling up big velocity the last few days, as he got a lot of swing and misses on it. For good measure, he showed feel for his 80-83 mph changeup that flashed some cut and sink. All three pitches come out of the same window, and everything out of the hand looks easy. Childress didn’t issue a walk while giving up two hits in his four innings, which only required 44 pitches (66 percent strikes).

06.20.17 - Texas A&M recruit. 6-foot-5, 215-pound, projectable, long-limbed frame. The left-hander works from a high-¾ slot as his fastball jumps on top of hitters with arm side life at 88-90 mph. He is able to work both sides of the plate, making it difficult for hitter. His slider is a swing-and-miss pitch at 77-80 mph with 1-7 shape, late life and depth. He also has feel for a changeup that has depth and arm side fade at 81, and 84 mph.
