2 things

Chad was a star baseball outfielder and could hit the ball a mile. He only pitched after throwing a few during practice and his catcher running to CPM and telling him he had to see Chad throw. He could play pro ball as an outfielder or get a little more work in and work his way into a rotation. His natural talent alone will get him onto a AA team.

Second, for those of you doubting he can play football, this is Chad freakin Jones. Half man, half predator. People overcome injuries and adversities everyday and achieve their dreams. If he is healthy enough to run a 4.8 40, then that means his leg is operating correctly, he just needs to get more strength back. Good Luck Chad, and WHO DAT!!

This is typically where the most prospects in an organization are.

He had about 15 at bats at LSU. He did ok in those 15 at bats. He hasn't hit a live pitch in 4 years. There is a slight difference between the mediocre pitching he saw and arms at the AA level.

He wasn't even a starter at LSU in the little time he actually played.

I am all for Chad Jones. I hope he makes it. Seems like a great guy and like a great representative of LSU, but this is beyond delusional.

you don't get to AA on talent alone. and chad pitched in high school. he didn't just figure out how to pitch screwing around at practice at lsu.
