VA/MD State Games
5-foot-10, 150-pound proportional athletic build. Smooth confident at the plate, Jones had an exit velocity of 88 mph. (66.0 mph bat speed average). (20.9 mph hand speed average). Begins in a balanced stance with an active rhythmic load, then uses a controlled big leg kick. Bat speed was quick efficient, had a short simple swing plane and balanced finish. Was able to create loud contact and found some barrels. Gap to gap approach. Athletic projectable from the outfield, he showed the ability to throw at velocities up to 80 mph; had sure hands, athletic in control footwork, and a clean fluid exchange. Decent accuracy to the bases, used a long arm action and an-over-the-top slot. The athletic recruit showcased his speed with a sub-seven 60 time of 6.94.
