David Jones is a 2026 1B/LHP/OF with a 5-7 174 lb. frame from Dillwyn, VA who attends Buckingham County. Sturdy compact build with some present strength. 7.83 runner in the sixty. Primary first baseman on defense. works low through the ball and fields it cleanly with a good funnel, makes accurate throws with enough arm for the position, played with energy. Also worked out in the outfield, made accurate throws with a 3/4's release, aggressive coming to the ball and gets the glove in position early. Has solid fundamentals at both positions. Right handed hitter, hits from a narrow and open base with a high hand load and simple stride into contact, tends to start his hands late, see and react type of hitting approach, has some strength in his hands that he could use if he got the barrel out front more consistently. Also pitched, works from a full wind up with a high hand delivery and a 3/4's release, delivery is pretty smooth and works well for him. Fastball was in the upper 60's with some arm side life, threw his fastball for strikes and created early count contact. Threw a change up effectively off his fastball and also mixed in a soft curveball for a strikeout. Good student.
