Top-10 Profiles of 2019: No. 9 Jared Jones
December 20, 2019
A star member of the inaugural Team Georgia at the 2019 PBR Future Games, Jones put on an absolute show throughout the entire showcase. His raw power was second to none, as he blasted balls over the left field fence, shattering the windshield of a poor fellow who thought it was a good parking spot. He then went on to post one of the top pop times and catcher velocities that have ever been seen at the event. The future is bright for Jones, and we at PBR could not be more excited to watch him grow, develop and continue to hit balls to the moon for the next three years.

Scouting Report
Jared “Bear” Jones checks in at a whopping 6-foot-4, 225 pounds and leaves zero doubt about why he is also known as Bear. Jones participated in the Future Games amidst attending Football workouts, but you never would of known from his performance at this event. Jones drew plenty of attention during the showcase portion of the event, sending baseballs deep into the night. His exit velocity of 102 ranked 2nd in this event among a strong nationally ranked crowd. The imposing right handed swing of Jones at time appears to have an uppercut swing, but more importantly he gets on the same plane with the baseball and has the ability to stay balanced with a nice easy stroke, finding the bat-head frequently. Especially for a young power hitter. Defensively the big “Bear” from Walton high school showed very well in the workout, posting a pop times as low as 1.90, which puts him in pretty elite company. His arm strength is plenty as he turned in the 3rd best reading at 82 mph. Jones spent most of his summer with East Cobb at first base in order to give himself more versatility in the future and those reps have paid off, but Jones will be back behind the plate this Spring, where he started as a Freshman for a very good baseball program in 7A. Jones is already a big name on the east coast, but after this event and the schools showing interest, look for Jones to be a player on the national scene going forward.
