After a fantastic start to the Double-A season, 21-year-old Jared Jones was promoted to Triple-A, making his first start at the level on Tuesday.
It was a little bit of an anti-climatic finish, piled on more by the bullpen, but regardless, his debut with Indianapolis showed exactly why he has been one of the most talked about prospect lately, even finding his way on Baseball America’s Top 100 prospects.
In 5.2 innings pitched, the righty allowed three runs on three hits and two walks while striking out five.
Jones’ changeup led the way, keeping batters offset the entire way.
