2024 Fantasy Outlook
Jones went from potential closer-of-the-future in Pittsburgh to a good enough strike thrower and craftsman to project as a high-strikeout starter. His 70-grade four-seamer has excellent ride and sits at 96 mph while touching 100 mph. The 6-foot-1 righty also throws a plus 89-mph slider that touches 94 mph and adequate third and fourth pitches in his curveball and changeup. His 8.9 percent walk rate at Double-A was excellent given his age (21) and electric arsenal. The 9.7 percent walk rate he posted at Triple-A may seem a bit high, but that mark is actually pretty encouraging given his age and the automated balls and strikes system at the top level of the minors. Jones threw 126.1 total innings and could surpass 150 innings in his age-22 season. He is on track to join the big-league rotation sometime this season. Read Past Outlooks
Throws five scoreless
Jones threw five scoreless innings during Tuesday's loss against the Mets while allowing one hit and striking out seven batters. He did not factor into the decision.
ANALYSIS
Jones was dominant in his fourth career start, needing just 56 pitches to get through five innings while allowing just one batter to reach base. The 22-year-old likely could have continued pitching further into the game, but the Pirates' plan was always to limit him to five innings Tuesday. He departed with a 1-0 lead, but Pittsburgh's bullpen was unable to keep the Mets' offense quiet, leading to a 3-1 defeat and a no-decision for Jones. The right-hander now boasts a 3.13 ERA and 0.78 WHIP alongside a 32:2 K:BB ratio across 23 innings.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Debut possible in 2024
Jones could make his MLB debut for Pittsburgh in 2024, per Justice delos Santos of MLB.com.
ANALYSIS
The 22-year-old is one of Pittsburgh's top prospects and moved up to Triple-A Indianapolis in July, so a possible debut next year wouldn't be surprising. Jones posted a 2.23 ERA in 10 starts at Double-A before jumping to Triple-A, though he struggled after the promotion with a 4.72 ERA in 82 frames. However, the right-hander's 10.9 K/9 at the highest level of the minors is encouraging, and a strong start to 2024 could have him up in the majors before long.
