Scouting Report
- Big, tough lefty who can go a lot of innings out of the pen. Decent command, good fielder. Missed a lot of time in college with a fractured arm. Had successful surgery but due to health concerns Jones went undrafted. Utilizes a low 90s two-seam fastball, a circle change, and a curveball. Good composure on the mound, works well with men on base and in pressure situations. Great success against righties, but not overly effective against lefties. Has not been used as a lefty specialist in the past, and due to his reverse split he does not project to in the future. ~ Soxprospects.com
