Hard throwing, well built, RHP who will see some time ... finished the fall with a great outing in the Blue/Gray World Series ... has been clocked @90 mph ... control, consistency, and development of a better breaking pitch will determine the number of innings pitched this spring ... hard worker with tremendous upside.

Ryan Jones #16

RHP • R-R • 6-1 • 19285 • Fr. • Lilburn, GA

Hard throwing righty with tight curve and a good changeup ... arm soreness limited his playing time this fall ... when healthy he throws a HEAVY fastball that bores in on righties ... will throw in relief to start the season ... is the best overall athlete of the freshman pitchers.
