Pirates Go With Jared Jones In Second Round
The Pittsburgh Pirates selected La Mirada High School pitcher Jared Jones with the 44th overall pick in the second round in the 2020 MLB draft on Thursday. Jones was a two-way star in high school, but his future in the big leagues is on the mound. He has a big arm and can get his fastball into the upper-90s, while also flashing a hard slider. As a young power pitcher, though, the 18-year-old has shown inconsistent command, so he'll need to clean that up at the next level. He's not big a 6-foot-1, 180 pounds, but he's strong and athletic on the mound. Jones was committed to Texas before the draft.
