On this edition of the Pittsburgh Pirates prospect updates, we're going to take a look at standout pitcher and the number three overall young Bucco, pitcher Jared Jones.
Jones was drafted by the Pirates in the 2020 amateur draft after previously committing to play for the Texas Longhorns program at the college level. Jones would sign with the Pirates, and the former two way star was quickly set to start with the GCL Pirates, pitching full time. 2021 would see him spend the entire season in Bradenton, and then 2022 all with Greensboro, where he would lay the groundwork for a shot at playing at higher levels.
