Jones showed to be an interesting two-way prospect at the event on Sunday. Standing at a strong 6-foot-1, 200-pounds, Jones showed well on the mound, specifically. Out of a high ¾ slot, he showed a fastball that sat 81-84 mph (84.7 mph max) with life out of the hand. He showed three offspeed pitches; a curveball that showed 11/5 shape with quality spin (2,361 rpm average), a slider that flashed 10/4 sharp action, and a changeup with slight fade to the arm side. Defensively, he showed off his strong arm with accurate throws across the diamond that reached a max velocity of 83 mph. During batting practice, Jones had a flat bat path and used the whole field, and he registered a max exit velocity of 88.3 mph.

At an athletic 6-foot-1, 190-pounds, Jones has plenty of room to add weight to his frame. While on the mound, Cashton works quickly, staying inline well then utilizing a tall and fall type delivery to create fastballs up to 80.2 mph, and sitting 77.5-80.1 mph that flashed sink. When it comes to his offspeed offerings, Jones featured two different breaking balls, the first being a curveball that showed sharp 11/5 action that was consistently throwing all around the zone. His third pitch was a slider that showed more sweeping action than the curveball and was also a viable option to keep hitters off balance as he was able to throw it for strikes as well.
