He's the best hitter on this team outside of Crews. Beautiful swing, fastest bat speed on the team from the looks of it, solid vision, absolutely mashes the ball. Real excited about this guy. I don't think we realize yet how big he is for this lineup. If he plays everyday, I would not be shocked if he leads the team in homers and RBIs. (this is not based on today whatsoever).

MLB player comp: Taylor Ward - similar approach and swing

He is very good mechanically and overall yes he is excellent but we have a few hitters better than him. LSU is spoiled with riches

Based off his high school tape and his pre-season stats, you can't prove me wrong. Happy to bookmark this thread.

You're getting downvoted unfairly.
Jared Jones is a fricking MONSTER. A slept on MONSTER.

Just bookmark this thread and let's come back and laugh in a couple of months when he's leading the team in HR and OBP.

He has the ability to be the 4th or 5th best hitter on this team, which is still really good.

Mr. Jones, I’m really excited for Jared to be a Tiger! Y’all must be proud.

Think he k's a little too much to lead the team in OBP. The guys who take a bunch of walks will lead that category.

Without him having a position this year it's tough to see him playing enough to lead in some categories. Nothing suggest that he isn't a great hitter though. I just expect DH to be rotated a decent amount, although Jones may get more ABs than any other DH.

I don't see how they'll be able to deny him PAs once SEC play starts up.

If he is as good a hitter as the OP says then he’ll have a position.

You're right. I was drunk when I typed that. And I'm friends with a guy who is close to Jared's parents.
