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

He could play pro ball as an outfielder
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.

get a little more work in and work his way into a rotation.
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.

baseball has had his heart, but he sees the opportunity to excel in football...smart move I would think. Also mo money unless you get to be in those top 20 of high paid baseball players
big reason for him not going pro in baseball out of HS...

What?!?! His talent alone can get him here. Just think with year round training like the rest of AA players get will get him.

Again, his talent alone got him there. No fall ball, no summer league, and he missed half of the regular season training for football. Raw talent.

CPM had enough confidence in him to put him in the CWS finals after pitching 5 innings all season, BECAUSE HE WASN"T EVEN A PITCHER.
He was drafted in the 13th round out of high school and would have gone way higher if pro scouts knew he wasn't going play football at LSU.
To say he doesn't have MLB talent is delusional.
