Very determined pitcher with a desire to contribute to this team... Had sensational outings in the fall, holding opposing hitters to a composite .133 average and striking out 22 in 27 innings... Quiet and crafty.
Wayne Graham said -- 'Jonathan was our most improved player in the fall. There are indications that he[apos]s going to have an impact in multiple roles, possibly as a starter, also as a long reliever or even a closer.'
