View Draft Report
Jones had been one of Texas' better hitters as the Longhorns returned to regionals before slumping down the stretch. He's athletic for a 6-foot-4, 220-pounder, with defensive versatility boosting his profile. Jones is an average runner who can play all three outfield spots as well as the infield corners. He has at least average arm strength and raw power, though with his long levers and fringy freel for hitting, he doesn't get to it consistently.
