Unsurprisingly, the son of five-time all-star and 10-time Gold Glove center
fielder Andruw Jones is an excellent defensive center fielder as well. Druw
is the top player in the 2022 draft class thanks to his unique combination of
present skills, projection and loud supplemental tools while handling a
premium defensive position. Jones stood out during the summer showcase
circuit with plenty of hard contact and the ability to drive the ball with
authority to the right-center gap. His swing wasn’t always the most fluid or
‘hitterish’ and at times he would get out of sync with his lower and upper
halves, resulting in lots of ground ball outs, but he has improved the
consistency of that swing this spring. Jones has an advanced approach at the
plate with solid pitch recognition and pure bat-to-ball skills. As he
continues to add strength to a lean frame, he should grow into above-average
or plus raw power, and he could become a plus hitter with above-average game
power. He’s a lock to play center field at the highest level and is one of
the best defensive outfielders scouts have seen in years, with the instincts
and physical tools necessary to be a 70-grade defender at the position.
Scouting directors unanimously named Jones the best defensive outfielder in
the high school class prior to the season, and he has a case as the best
defender in the entire class as well. He’s a double-plus runner with a
fantastic first step that allows him to track difficult balls into the gaps
and to the fence with instinctual route-running ability on top of that. His
arm strength is a cherry on top of his tool set and it’s at least plus with
some scouts putting 70 grades on his throwing ability as well. If Jones weren
’t such a dynamic center fielder, teams might be inclined to try him at
shortstop as well, where he shows advanced actions and instincts as an
infielder. Jones is committed to Vanderbilt but is expected to be one of the
first players selected in the 2022 draft. He has all-star upside and should
impact the game in many ways.
