Jonathan Anthony Callahan (born December 31, 1988) is an American professional baseball pitcher for the Queens Bees of the North American Baseball Association. He debuted in 2013 as a young fastballer, with a hard but unpredictable four-seamer. He played 27 games in 2012 and 2013 at an ERA of almost 9.00, and despite being put on the team full-time, still posted mediocre >5.00 ERAs. However, Callahan learned the forkball from pitching coach and past knuckleballer Mike Paul, and exploded in his 2016 and 2017 seasons, posting a 3.06 ERA in the latter. His two-hit shutout in 2017 against the Colorado Gold Sox was considered one of the best games of the season.
