Interview conducted by David Saltzer, AngelsWin.com Senior Writer
One of the most interesting and compelling stories that I heard during my time with the Orem Owlz was that of Jonathan Van Eaton. How he came to pitch in the Angels organization was something out of a Hollywood script. I'll let him tell the story in his own words.
It's a good thing that it all worked out for him in the end because while I was there, I saw a potential relief prospect who could move through the system. He had a plus slider and low 90s heat that really kept hitters on their toes. Some of the people with whom I spoke described his slider as one of the best in the organization.
As a non-drafted free agent signing, Jonathan has an uphill battle. But, with his repetoire and the way he dominated right-handed hitters, he has the tools to win that battle.
