He won’t make the crazy athletic plays Morgan did but he’s better at picking balls in the dirt and I really don’t give a shite how many people downvote this or argue it

Agreed, and I say this after being a little concerned with some plays early in the year where he was coming off the bag on his stretches. But that has gone and his overall defense has been top notch.

Jared jones is most improved player on team and he wasn’t bad as a fr
He’s found a home at 1b with his defense
Will be interesting to see where he gets drafted or what he tells teams on draft day or leading up to draft
If he continues on trajectory he could be a high first round pick in 2025
If mlb considers him a defensive liability he can dh
Berry wasn’t the best defensively either and he was first college player off board
Now if Kling can do same next year

Here is a post I made about this in February. I am glad that others are noticing.

Jones makes me feel nervous
Jones made a great pick on the play Cent. Ark challenged. I’m not sure if his foot was on the bag or not, but the pick was impressive.
He’s not bad @ 1st, just not as athletic as Trey. He will never make the play Trey did in Omaha, but I do think he does a better job of picking balls out of the dirt than Trey did. That’s the one area I thought Trey needed to improve on.
Jones is also a pretty big target for the infielders to throw to & I think his size may get us several outs this season.
