3/20/21
Jones is a big-armed athlete who threw it 92 mph from the outfield, but translates best on the mound where he sat 89-90 mph with a 75-76 mph curveball with above-average action and depth. Jones looks to only be scratching the surface of his potential on the mound given his overall athleticism.
