Part 3/8:
Despite wavering towards mediocrity, Jones was able to miss a good portion of bats, achieving a strikeout percentage of 26.2%, a figure significantly above league average. His fastball—ranked highly for velocity and effectiveness—employed both speed and movement. However, his breaking pitches, particularly his curveball and changeup, were hit hard, suggesting room for improvement. By refining his off-speed pitches, Jones could transform his fastball into a more dangerous weapon, creating a scenario for enhanced performance.
