Scouting Report

3/01/25

6'0" 185 lbs. athletic frame with a strong lower-half.  The former Jr. Future Gamer has been playing exceptionally well for the Eagles so far this season and that continued last Saturday against Catholic BR.  Hitting out of the two-hole in this look, Jones drew a six-pitch walk in his first at-bat, before leading the bottom of the 3rd off with a ground-rule double to left-centerfield, which started a two run inning for Live Oak, after being down 5-2.  Jones then worked a 2-0 count in his third at-bat and hit a line drive opposite-field single, and would come around to score on Brayden Allen's grand slam.  He would finish the game 2-3 with 2 R and a BB.  Jones also showed off his defensive tools and speed on a diving catch in the left-centerfield gap to rob Harrison Kidder of an extra-basehit.  He's a talented player with tools to dream on, which is why he's a name that should be highlighted by college recruiters now that we are in the month of March.

2/13/25

Athletic 6'0" 180 lbs. frame with some room for more physicality as he matures.  A former Jr. Future Gamer, Jones was another guy that impressed in Live Oak's 13-1 win over Barbe last Thursday night.  He singled to the pull-side in his first at-bat, before laying down a perfect drag bunt for a hit in his second at-bat.  Jones then hit an opposite-field 2 RBI double in his third at-bat to finish the night 3-4 with the 2B, 2 RBI, 2 R, and 3 SB.  He's a talented athlete with the speed to patrol centerfield and impact the game on the basepaths, which is why he's a good name to circle for college recruiters for the rest of this spring and into the summer.
