2024 Fantasy Outlook
Jones went from potential closer-of-the-future in Pittsburgh to a good enough strike thrower and craftsman to project as a high-strikeout starter. His 70-grade four-seamer has excellent ride and sits at 96 mph while touching 100 mph. The 6-foot-1 righty also throws a plus 89-mph slider that touches 94 mph and adequate third and fourth pitches in his curveball and changeup. His 8.9 percent walk rate at Double-A was excellent given his age (21) and electric arsenal. The 9.7 percent walk rate he posted at Triple-A may seem a bit high, but that mark is actually pretty encouraging given his age and the automated balls and strikes system at the top level of the minors. Jones threw 126.1 total innings and could surpass 150 innings in his age-22 season. He is on track to join the big-league rotation sometime this season. Read Past Outlooks
Selected to MLB roster
The Pirates selected Jones' contract from Triple-A Indianapolis on Thursday.
ANALYSIS
Jones captured a spot in the Pirates' rotation by allowing just three unearned runs to go along with a 15:8 K:BB in 16.1 innings during Grapefruit League play. The young right-hander is slated to make his major-league debut Saturday in Miami.
