Jones is a hold — the contact is loud, the strikeouts cap the ceiling.

His expected wOBA is .324, .009 above the league average of .315, and his 227 plate appearances are past the point where that number becomes reliable. The contact quality underneath it is strong: 94.1 mph average exit velocity, a 55.5% hard-hit rate, and 15.8% barrels, all comfortably above league. His expected wOBA has been stepping up across the sample. But the strikeout rate is 36.6% against a league average of 22%, and it has been climbing, so his batting average has a hard floor. His BABIP is .360 against a league average of .295, and BABIP needs around 800 balls in play to be reliable — he has 120. Some of that average is coming back down. Hold. 1 HR / 0 R / 3 RBI / 1 SB / .228 AVG is deep-league rotational counting only — hold, but he's a streaming-only asset.
