Bubba Jones

Jones was the pop-up prep bat in the Northwest. Scouts like his strength and lefthanded swing, but the big question is where he winds up defensively. He spent some time at catcher in high school, but he profiles better at first base, as he's not athletic enough to remain behind the plate as a pro. Jones has a short, swing with strong wrists. He has a little bit of an uppercut bat path, but shows good bat speed, though most of his power is presently to the pull side. If Jones doesn't sign, he's committed to Arizona.
