Happy Birthday - 10/17

RHP Jason Chowning (24)
Originally from Kentucky, Jason was drafted in the 28th round in 2010 out of the University of Oklahoma.  In 2011 he had a very strong season for Lexington, going 4-4 in 35 appearances (58.2IP) with a 2.45 ERA and a 1.261 WHIP.  Via twitter last month, Jason indicated that he was found to have a small labrum tear, but the doctor deemed it "fixable" and is recommending rehab and not surgery.
