Jason Bahr, RHP. DOB: 2/15/1995. 6'5", 190 lbs. Drafted 2017 Round 5
SS: 3-2, 3.55, 33 IP, 9.82 K/9, 3.00 BB/9, GB/FB= 1.57.
College: 0-2, 2.97, 60.2 IP, 15 BB, 98 K.
Jason Bahr got dropped by his college team, UCF, but was brought back by a new coaching staff for his Junior(Redshirt Senior) season. He broke out as a swingman with 5 starts in 24 appearances. In the process he had 2 starts of 5.1 IP where he struck out 9 batters. In another appearance, he struck out 9 Florida State batters in 3 IP. As his college coach put it re. his #380 BA draft ranking, "There is no way there are 300-something better prospects in the draft. It's really hard to teach 6-6 and 96. That's not something that just grows on trees."
Bahr backed up his college coach with a solid pro debut for Salem Keizer and looks ready to move up to either Augusta or San Jose for 2018. His challenge will be durability as he does not have a long track record of either heath or success. Breakout Candidate.

This kid is the prospect I can't wait to see in A ball. A real shot at being a very solid #3 on a playoff caliber team, if his secondary stuff improves. Easy pitching motion so his arm has a chance to hold up.
