He’s a RH power bat. Nothing more, nothing less

Speed or hitting clearly aren’t tools that MLB teams think are protectable right now. If he raises his averages up next season and his chase rate continues to go down and the bat to ball skill improves, then maybe the narrative changes

So you can't answer the question. Nothing about his ISO, fly ball rate, OPS. Just random "average advanced metrics" because actual advanced metrics show he was a better hitter than Tommy White last year, a player you have referred to as a star.

Of course a RH 1B will struggle to go in the first round, but as usual, you don't know what you're talking about.

Way to extrapolate a half of one sentence of my post to take it out of context. You're great at this.

I asked you, and have yet to receive a response, what "average offensive metrics" did Jared Jones have last year, outside of K rate?

He has to get better at hitting a curve ball.
