PA Last Chance - Preseason ID
Jones turned in one of the loudest two-way looks in this portion of the event. The 6-2, 198-pound right-handed hitter produced premium impact, averaging 97.6 mph off the bat while reaching 105 mph with 373 feet of carry. The bat speed also stood out at 75.5 mph, and he paired the offensive performance with an 87 mph infield arm.
On the mound, Jones worked 87-88 mph with the fastball and showed a 78 mph slider with spin up to 2350 rpm. The combination of size, bat speed, exit velocity, arm strength, and mound velocity gives him one of the more complete profiles in the event.
