Evaluator: Rhys White
Age: 23 yr
Height: 6-2
Weight: 175 lbs
Hits/Throws: S/R
Acquired: 2019 Round 1
RuleV: 2022
Physical Description: Dynamic athlete with a solid frame, built like an NFL wide-receiver, muscular build.
Hit: Lifts his front-leg slightly, then puts it down when the pitch has left the pitcher's hand. He has quick wrists, and his bat is quick through the zone with natural loft. The swing is the same from both sides of the plate. He shows a good understanding of the strike-zone and doesn't chase often. All fields approach, showing a solid ability to take the ball the other way, but can also be aggressive and look to pull the ball early in counts to attack fastballs. Grade: 50
Power: He has all-fields power showing the ability to take the ball out to any part of the ballpark. He has plus bat-speed with average raw-strength. Shows the ability to take the ball out of the ballpark even when he takes the ball the other-way. Grade: 55
Field: Solid actions at short, can make all the routine plays at short. Shows good lateral agility and is explosive when charging in on balls. He shows solid footwork and shows a solid ability of turning the play for a double play, as well as being the one for relay throw to first. With his speed I also think he can handle a move to centerfield if needed and be average out there. Grade: 50
Arm: Above average arm, he is accurate with his throws and shows an ability to throw off multiple platforms. Throws also have good carry on them. Grade: 55
Run: Easy double-plus runner, is explosive out of the box thanks to his foot speed and explosiveness. Has a good get off when stealing bases and has solid baserunning instincts not solely relying on his blazing speed. Grade: 70
Overall: There are a bunch of ways in which Jones can impact a game and that helps the overall profile. He's a dynamic athlete who is a great base runner and also has the ability to take the ball out of the park. He combines a bunch of average to above average tools with blazing speed, and should be a solid regular wherever he plays.
