Jones is a 6-foot-3, 205-pound righthander with a solid blend of now stuff and future projection to get excited about. He attacks hitters with a solid delivery and a low three-quarters arm slot that gets fully sidearm at times. Jones pitched in the 90-94 mph range during the 2024 travel circuit, but he has topped out at 96 this spring and gets a solid amount of running life on his fastball from that low slot. In addition to the fastball, Jones will mix in an 80-85 mph slider with solid sweeping action and a mid-80s changeup. Jones has shown solid feel to land his fastball for strikes, but he does have a long, hooking arm action that could create some inconsistencies. Jones is committed to Wake Forest but could fit inside the first 10 rounds based on talent.
