A burly righthander from Kennesaw State, Toronto's Chad Jenkins is a promising workhorse starter who could push his way into the back of the Toronto rotation sooner than some of the bigger names on the farm. The rare kind of prospect talent who already possessses four workable pitches, Jenkins throws both a four- and two-seam fastball (the latter with serious sink) and mixes in a strikeout slider and a change that could be a real plus pitch. His projectable body and well-regarded baseball smarts all add up to rapid advancement but a low ceiling. His 5-7, 4.13, 1.20 season at AA New Hampshire suggests he needs another year on the farm before he's a serious rotation candidate, but his 74:27 strikeout to walk rate proves there's no real shortcoming here other than a lack of experience.
