Jonathan Cannon

24-Year-Old PitcherSP
Chicago White Sox
2024 Fantasy Outlook
A groundball specialist, Cannon lacks a plus pitch, but his sinker/slider combination is designed to generate weak contact. The 6-foot-6 righty also mixes in a 90-mph cutter, low-80s curveball and a changeup. He posted a 5.77 ERA and 1.57 WHIP in 11 starts at Double-A last year, but he was a bit unlucky (56.2 LOB%, .346 BABIP). Cannon had much more success in his first two starts of 2024 at Triple-A, maintaining a groundball rate north of 50 percent while striking out a career-best 25.6 percent of batters, albeit with an 11.6 percent walk rate. The White Sox will add Cannon to the rotation earlier than expected in mid-April, and keeping the ball on the ground will be his ticket to sticking around. Read Past Outlooks

Earns fifth win
PChicago White Sox
September 29, 2024
Cannon (5-10) earned the win Sunday, allowing four runs on four hits and three walks over five innings against the Tigers. He struck out three.
ANALYSIS
Cannon was staked with a rare 5-0 lead and carried it into the fifth inning. but three walks led to a grand slam by Kerry Carpenter that spoiled the righty's final line. Despite the disappointing end to his outing, the 24-year-old finished his first big-league campaign having made 21 starts among 23 appearances while posting a 4.49 ERA and 1.33 WHIP with 91 strikeouts across 124.1 innings.
