Connor Jones-6'3"/205 RHP
Committed to University of Virginia
Draft Day age 18.8
Connor Jones has the build that tends to turn the heads of
scouts. His FB regularly sits in the
90-93 range with consistent velocity. He also throws a two-seam version that
offers good sink. His best off-speed offering is a solid change up that he uses
with good command, late drop, and arm speed.
Jones throws a hybrid curve that shows potential and can
turn into more of a slider depending on where he slots his arm. What put Connor in the mix for the first two
rounds was a big jump in velocity and two lights out innings at the Under
Armour All-America game.
There is a little funk in Jones' mechanics. He has a crouched delivery that has a slight
leg wrap. While his mechanics add
deception, they could also work against his command. I personally like Connor Jones due to his
build and the consistent velocity on his FB.
He could easily be a steal from rounds two through five. Depending on how he throws this season and
his signability, he could find his way into the late first round.
