Junior From Chipley to Begin Professional Career
ATLANTA, Ga. – Junior pitcher Zach Jadofsky of the West Florida baseball team signed a free agent contract with the Atlanta Braves on Monday. Jadofsky’s signing gives the Argonauts six players advancing to professional baseball after the team’s 2011 NCAA Division II national championship season, including five selected in the MLB First-Year Player Draft last week.
Jadofsky (Chipley, Fla./Enterprise State CC) posted a 4.28 ERA and a 4-0 record in 2011, and he struck out 22 batters and walked just nine. Injuries limited him to just 10 appearances, but he finished strong. In three postseason relief appearances, he pitched 11.1 scoreless innings, including 3.2 innings in UWF’s 5-3 comeback victory over Mount Olive in the NCAA Division II Championships.
Because of UWF’s championship run through the first week of June, Jadofsky got a late start to his summer league schedule with the Woodstock River Bandits of the Valley Baseball League. The right-hander made his first appearance with the Bandits on Saturday against the Waynesboro Generals and pitched one scoreless inning. After impressing scouts enough with one appearance, he was offered a free agent contract and signed with the Braves.
