2023 1st Bowman Brock Jones BP-115 Rookie Tampa Bay Rays

Description: Track Record: As a freshman at Stanford, Jones played special teams for the Cardinal football team in addition to baseball. He focused full-time on baseball in 2021 and 2022, helping lead Stanford to the College World Series--he had a three home run game in the super regional and also homered in Omaha. After being drafted in the second round by the Rays, he was sent to Low-A Charleston where he helped them win the Carolina League title. Scouting Report: Jones has strength, he glides to balls in the outfield with a graceful gait and plus speed and he seems to embrace being in the spotlight. The big question facing Jones is whether he's going to hit enough for his other tools to play. He's a streaky hitter with a choppy swing, but when he's hot, he can carry a team. He hit 15 of his 21 home runs for Stanford in the final 27 games of the season, including a six-game home run streak. Jones is comfortable working counts and should consistently get on-base. Jones is physically mature and maxed out, but he's just started focusing on baseball full-time, so there's some developmental projection remaining. Defensively he's a plus defender in center with plus speed. His arm is fringe-average. The Future: Jones is yet another in the Rays' large collection of athletic center fielders with power, defense, speed and some hit tool questions. With Shane Sasaki on the same development path, Jones will likely start playing corner outfield spots in 2023 just to ensure the Rays can spread innings around. - Baseball America
