Druw Jones day at Chase Field

Diamondbacks first round draft pick, (#2 overall) Druw Jones was out at Chase field today for what will surely be a memorable day in the young man’s life. Accompanied by his parents, former major leaguer Andruw Jones and his wife Nicole, as well as his agent Scott Boras, Druw got the full major league experience.

The first thing I can tell you is standing next to him in the clubhouse, his listed height of 6’4” is definitely legit. I’m 6’ 1 12 ”, and he’s at least 2 inches taller. We got to see him take batting practice and it was impressive to see him uncoil his swing and launch line drives and deep fly balls, several of which went over the wall.
