Jones emerged as a key part of the bullpen for the Cavaliers this spring as the right-hander went 4-1 with a 2.36 ERA in 19 appearances, spanning 45.2 innings pitched. He was named the No. 1 high school player in Virginia during his senior season of 2013 and was tabbed as a first-team All-American by both Rawlings and MaxPreps for going 10-1 with a 0.00 ERA during the regular season and throwing 10 shutouts.
