First making headlines at age 12, Jonathan pitched to a no-hitter in the New Jersey Little League Sectional playoffsThe game was against New Milford, where Jonathan recorded strikes on 29 of his first 30 pitches. The only baserunner came in the 5th inning resulting from an infield error. Jonathan struck out 15 of the 18 batters he faced that game. That was the last game his team won that summer, losing the next two games against North Hunterdon and current UNC baseball player Thomas Zengel. That same summer Jonathan went to Cooperstown, N.Y. to participate in the annual "Cooperstown Dreams Park" tournament. It was at Cooperstown that Jonathan was first measured against a radar gun, reaching speeds up to 74 mph.
