View Draft Report
Aaron's brother, Chris, played two years for George Horton when he was the head coach at Cal State Fullerton. A 6-foot-1, 195-pound draft-eligible sophomore, Jones is a good athlete. A 38th-round pick by the Red Sox in 2010, Jones spent his freshman season in right field for the Ducks but returned to his high school position as catcher for part of this season. He has some things to smooth out defensively, but has above-average arm strength. At the plate, Jones has a little bit of a loop to his swing but does have some strength. If a team likes what they've seen out of Jones behind the plate, he could get a chance this year. But if teams think he's going to have to stay in right field, they'll likely want to see more out of his bat. Jones was mostly the team's designated hitter late in the season, as he recovered from a high ankle sprain.
