Scouting Report
Acquired via trade from the Yankees in January 2026
January 2026 update: Jones received a modest $150k signing bonus out of Kansas State in 2024. He has quickly outplayed his pre-draft scouting report, showing the upside to develop into an everyday MLB left fielder. He draws nearly as many walks as strikeouts and puts together his best plate appearances in the highest-leverage situations.
A 70-grade runner, Jones has been stealing bases at an extremely high volume in the minors (69 SB in 148 G) and with elite efficiency (88.5 SB%).
