He has to shorten his swing and work up the middle and to RF, or he’s going to get benched again. His entire off season should have been spent on this.

It isn’t his swing. It isn’t a long swing like you say. It’s more of a pitch recognition and timing issue. Some of the highlights you can tell he is late on fastballs. His swing is fine. It’s going to be mental for him. If he can break out the mental part and get passed that he will be very good and that is why Jay will allow him to struggle for as long as possible. The potential is super high and this team won’t go where they want to go if Jones don’t get it figured out.
