re: Does Jared Jones make the same play on the bunt?

Anyone that thought it was an easy play is a retard and should be disregarded.
That bunt was down and where it should normally be. A normal first baseman even crashing isn’t going to make a play on a bunt like that.

Some of the comments suggested that it was an easy play for Tre to make because the ball bounced perfectly for him.
Easy? Of course. This place has always been an Algonquin Round Table of message boards.

It was on an IG baseball page. The view of the play was third base/looking at home side, about 30’ up. Great view.

He's a catcher.

Answer to the original question is more than likely not. Probably looking at maybe 1 in every 10 chances Jones makes the play vs maybe 5/6 in every 10 chances Tre makes it. The play is super difficult and Tre is just ridiculously athletic for playing 1B with good hands to make the transfer.
This isn't true. He was in perfect position to field the bunt because if he wasn't the play would not have been made. He was holding the runner on but it was a planned play that as soon as Skenes raised his leg to pitch Morgan was crashing as hard as he could. If Morgan would have truly been holding the runner on and playing 1B normal, that play doesn't get made.

Milazzo is a catcher too. He’s athletic. His body is different than Jones, but I don’t discredit someone because they caught in high school.

Something is off… you didn’t call me stupid for asking the question. Please revise and re-submit.

Does anything on the rant matter?

Most defensive executions on a squeeze bunts fail at the field and transfer of the ball. Morgan was loose and turned to backyard baseball and just made a great, instinctual play.
the angle was tough, u can't throw it. He was too close and the ball was too high to underhand. So he just did a chest pass type of thing. Jones' size alone would have made the angles difficult on its own.

Well said. The transition is where most guys would have A.) not gotten the ball out fast enough. B.) not made an accurate throw.

I doubt Jones even fields it cleanly, let alone makes that play.
I understand our fanbase’s obsession with this guy, because he hits the ball a mile when he makes contact, but he’s not even close to be behind a mediocre fielder, let alone on Tre Morgan’s level.
He’s still a freshman, so who’s to say he can’t get near Tre’s level, but as he sits, no freaking way he comes close to making that play.

Do you think he goes into fall practice as the starting first baseman?

He was "truly" holding the runner on. Once Skenes leg kicked, Morgan crashed (by your admission). At that point there is no pick.
My point was, JJ could have elected to not hold that runner on first at all, and have the first baseman start 3-4 steps up. Which is what likely has to happen if it was Jones playing first, just to maybe have a chance.

Jones was pretty solid at first base for us. Our fans are spoiled by Morgan and think every first baseman should be able to do what he does. Tre being great doesn't make Jones "not even close to being a mediocre fielder."

No, and neither does 99% of first basemen in college baseball.
No slight to Jones at all.

Maybe, but probably will drive in more runs, even though Morgan has been clutch throughout his career.
Doubtful we can replace Morgan but the team will have to take up the slack.
