==Career==
Pentecost attended Winder-Barrow High School in Winder, Georgia. He suffered an arm injury during his senior year, which required surgery. The Texas Rangers selected Pentecost in the seventh round, with the 234th overall selection, of the 2011 Major League Baseball (MLB) Draft. He opted not to sign with Texas, instead enrolling at Kennesaw State University, where he played college baseball for the Kennesaw State Owls in the Atlantic Sun Conference. After his sophomore year at Kennesaw State, he participated in the Cape Cod Baseball League, a collegiate summer baseball league, where he was named the most valuable player.〔 He was also named ''Perfect Game''s College Summer Player of the Year. As a junior, Pentecost won the Atlantic Sun Player of the Year Award and Johnny Bench Award. He was also a finalist for the Dick Howser Trophy.
Pentecost was seen by Jim Callis of MLB.com as a likely first round pick in the upcoming 2014 MLB Draft, and the best pure catcher in the draft.〔 The Toronto Blue Jays selected Pentecost in the first round, with the 11th overall selection, of the draft. Pentecost signed with the Blue Jays on July 2, for the full bonus slot value of $2.9 million. He was assigned to the Gulf Coast Blue Jays of the Rookie-level Gulf Coast League because he did not have his passport at the time. Blue Jays GM Alex Anthopoulos had intended to assign Pentecost to the Vancouver Canadians of the Class A-Short Season Northwest League. In his second professional game on July 8, he went 5-for-5 with two doubles, two runs scored and two runs batted in (RBIs). Pentecost was promoted to Vancouver on July 15. He played until August 7, when a wrist injury ended his season. In 25 total games, Pentecost batted .324 with 12 RBIs. On October 1, Pentecost was named eighth-best prospect in the Northwest League by ''Baseball America''.
In January 2015, Pentecost was named by MLB as the 10th best catching prospect in baseball. He underwent shoulder surgery in February 2015, and missed the entire 2015 season while rehabbing.
