Nick Jones was one of the standouts at the Prep Baseball NorCal Uncommitted Games, showing why he’s a name to keep tabs on heading into his upcoming season. Jones carries himself with confidence on the field, and his overall game continues to trend upward.Jones showcased his athleticism in the workout portion, posting a strong 6.97 60-Yard Dash, with smooth strides that reflect his quick-twitch ability. Defensively, he showed clean footwork and steady hands, projecting as a reliable defender who can handle his position with consistency. His arm strength played well across the outfield, with carry and accuracy that will only sharpen as he continues to develop physically. At the plate, Jones impressed during batting practice. He produced hard contact with a max EV of 102.3 mph, and a max distance of 390 ft. Jones also had an in-game home run that was demolished over the scoreboard, showing a swing built to drive the ball to the middle of the field. The bat speed is present (75.2 max), and his ability to stay on plane gives him a chance to consistently find barrels. As his lower half becomes more connected to his swing, Jones projects for added impact and potential power upside.
