View Draft Report

Jones is a tall, 6-foot-6, 209-pound lefthanded reliever who put up silly numbers this spring out of the bullpen for Georgia Southern. In 42.2 innings and 29 appearances, Jones posted a 1.48 ERA and struck out 67 batters (14.1 K/9) and walked just five (1.1 BB/9). Among Division I arms with at least 20 innings this spring, his 13.4 strikeout-to-walk rate was good for the fifth-best mark in the country. Jones overwhelmingly throws a fastball in the 89-91 mph range that gets up to 93 and he comes at hitters with a lower, three-quarter arm slot that creates a tough angle. Jones has also thrown a slurvy breaking ball in the upper 70s and low 80s that plays up at times thanks to his arm angle, but he uses it infrequently. Jones was a true walk-on to the baseball team at Georgia Southern and this spring was named a finalist for the Stopper of the Year award.
