LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2025 PG High School All State Select Championship (28-29 Grads)  
Richard Jones Jr is a 2028 SS/2B with a 5-9 155 lb. frame from Manvel, TX who attends Lutheran South Academy. Medium athletic build with good young present strength. Right handed hitter, sets up in a narrow open base with a tight hand load and short stride into contact, simple and repeatable swing approach that has some strength behind it, mostly pull side contact with some carry to the gap. 7.23 runner in the sixty. Primary shortstop on defense, gets his glove down early and fields the ball cleanly, good back hand actions, covers ground laterally and can play on the run, loose arm that projects, game actions in drills. Excellent student.
