Not to be confused with the Virginia righthander of the same name, Georgia's Jones is a 6-foot-2, 195-pound lefthander that has touched 95 mph. Moving into the rotation this spring after two seasons in the bullpen, Jones had an up-and-down 5-6, 4.66 season for the Bulldogs, striking out 74 and walking 37 in 75 innings. Though he's 93-95 mph from the left side, Jones has erratic command and hasn't proven he can consistently throw strikes. Fairly athletic with a functional delivery, Jones' command issues don't necessarily stem from a mechanical flaw. Jones' breaking ball is a little short and the changeup needs refinement, but a team should take a flier on his lefthanded arm strength.
