Jared Jones
Hitting scouting report · 80Grade
Scouting summary
Jones has a plausible path as a right-handed power bat who reaches the upper minors because of strength, patience, and a demonstrated ability to produce home runs against younger pitching. The ceiling is a second-division first baseman or platoon-capable bench bat if the contact rate improves enough for the power to play against better breaking balls. The floor is a Quad-A corner bat, since first base offers little defensive margin and his current swing-and-miss profile places pressure on the offensive output. His next developmental test is sustained performance at Double-A, particularly against velocity and spin, while proving that the injured-list interruptions will not limit availability.
