Uncommitted Spotlight: 2023 OF Ikon Jones (Sun Valley)

 

Physical: Highly athletic, 5-foot-9, 160lb frame with some ceiling left. 6.54 runner in the 60.

Offensively: LHH. Begins shoulder-width in the stance with the hands showing minor rhythm by the ear and the back elbow tilted slightly upwards. Utilized a leg-lift stride to initiate the swing through an on-plane, flat path into the hitting zone towards a two-handed finish. Produced big-time rotational scores (34 G rotational acceleration, 75 mph bat-speed) and lived on the sweet spot during a line-drive round to the pull-side at T91 mph exit velocity.

Defensively: The primary outfielder is a middle of the field defender with a multitude of routes in the toolbox. Creates efficient angles around the ball while exchanging cleanly at the waist and getting rid from H ¾ slot (82 mph arm) in rhythm.
