Cannon Named A Preseason All-American
January 31, 2022 | Baseball
ATHENS, GA.------University of Georgia pitcher Jonathan Cannon has been named a preseason All-American by Baseball America and D1Baseball, the publications announced Monday.
Cannon was named to the Third Team by both outlets. A 6-6, 213-pound native of Alpharetta, Ga., Cannon registered a 3.93 Earned Run Average in 12 starts while going 4-2 in 2021. He tallied 57 strikeouts and only 13 walks in 63.1 innings pitched. Due to illness, Cannon did not make his 2021 debut until March 9 and then ended the year as one of the top pitchers in the country. He posted road wins over No. 1 Vanderbilt and No. 7 Florida plus beat No. 11 Ole Miss in Athens to close out the regular season.
Baseball America annually polls major league teams to vote on the team and asks that they make their selections based on performance, talent and professional potential. In the past, the Baseball America Preseason All-America team has been a predictor of both the first round of the draft and of team success. Nine of the 14 college players drafted in the first round in 2021 were voted as Preseason All-Americans. In all, 20 of the 42 Preseason All-Americans in 2021 were drafted in the top 100 picks. The staff of D1Baseball.com selects their preseason All-America squads.
