View Draft Report

A physical, 6-foot-1, 200-pound righthander, Jones is a potential top-ten round senior sign who has a solid three-pitch mix and a track record of solid strike throwing with Toledo. He increased his fastball velocity this spring and sits around 90 mph, getting the pitch up to 94-95 at its best, and pairs it with a hard power curveball in the low 80s with 12-to-6 shape and a mid-80s splitter that falls off the table. Jones’s fastball has been hit quite a bit—as evidenced by his 10.1 hits-per-nine innings mark throughout his Toledo career—but his secondary pitches are legitimatemi ss offerings, and he has also posted a 6.5% walk rate for his career. This spring Jones posted a 4.24 ERA over 15 starts and 91.1 innings, with 114 strikeouts (29.1 K%) to 25 walks (6.4 BB%), and if he can find a bit of wiggle to his fastball, is an intriguing depth starter option.
