Bogus Smith Posted August 11, 2023 Share Posted August 11, 2023 Jonah was promoted to Single-A Stockton in the California League on Tuesday. After two games with Stockton, he is batting 3-for-9 for .333 batting average and has yet to make a miscue in the field on 14 chances. In his short pro career, he is hitting .393 (Rookie and A ball) and a .500 OBP. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dbl78 Posted August 25, 2023 Share Posted August 25, 2023 Thanks for the updates Bogus. The article indicated that his arm was below average, which I found surprising, since prior to coming to ORU he played shortstop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The article indicated that his arm was below average, which I found surprising, since prior to coming to ORU he played shortstop. I think for outfield play, the throwing arm is judged on the ability to get the ball to third and home. Throwing from the hole at short to first base is not as far. Throwing from the outfield can be a strength and conditioning effort with time which can improve that score. Jonah's speed and bat are his forte right now and a skill that is more innate than taught. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bogus Smith Posted September 9, 2023 Author Share Posted September 9, 2023 Jonah seems to be wearing down as the season progresses. He has been playing nine months straight, plus last year's fall workouts. He is currently .292 / .321 / .707, but is only hitting .185 with 14 Ks in 27 ABs. Fortunately for Jonah, the season ends Sunday. Hopefully he'll get some time in the Arizona Fall League. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otis 83 Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 The A's announced today they traded Jonah to the Giants for RHP Ross Stripling. I wish Jonah the best in the Giants system although I was kinda hoping I'd get to see him play when the As come to town. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
