12/27/2012 - Pirate City Christmas Camp and Tournament Fouts continues to show improvements in his baseball abilities. Foot speed has improved as he ran his best 60 time to date, now a solid 7.37 runner. Defensive grades in the OF have improved to well above average as he takes proper routes / angles and works to get behind balls well, playing through with momentum to his target. Throws display accuracy and carry into his target as he gets rid of the baseball quickly. At the plate, Jonathan shows a balanced approach with rhythm. He makes consistent contact, mainly to the pull side as he needs to work to keep hands inside the ball to utilize all fields and improve hitting grades. On the mound, fastball shows a range of 74-76 mph on a downhill plane. Breaking ball shows potential as being a quality pitch with 11/5 shape with sharp breaking action. Stock on the mound will continue to rise as more arm strength is gained. Mental makeup is a plus as he is a hard worker and is very coachable.
