RHP Hunter Jones (Branson, 2024) put together a quality ‘pen in his PBR event debut. The 6-foot-1, 180-pound junior pitched at 83-84 mph with his fastball, cutting it slightly from a short arm slot and working with intent to a loose ¾ release. Jones flashed feel to land a 69-71 mph curveball with depth around the zone, spinning it at 2200+ RPM on average, and he also worked in a more firm 73-76 mph slider too. Jones also generated hard elevated contact throughout BP, peaking at 93.8 mph with an average batted distance of 267 ft., which was the event's highest mark.
