Scouting Summary:
- 94-95 mph fastball
- slider is potential out pitch
Don’s Thoughts: Devin Jones is a very raw pitcher that will need a bit of refinement. His stuff is that of a first or second round talent, but it might be limited to the fastball and slider combo.
In relief, he can gear it up to 94-95 mph, but I’m not quite sure if that speed can stay as a starter. His slider shows glimpes of an ability to be a future out pitch. He still has room to add weight, which could lead to significant improvements.
