LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2026 PG Sunshine South Showcase (National Showcase Qualifier)  
Richard Jones Jr is a 2028 SS/2B with a 5-10 160 lb. frame from Manvel, TX who attends Lutheran South Academy. Strong frame with some twitchy actions. Ran a 7.39 in the 60-yard dash. Primary infielder, showed some quality footwork to get to the backhand. Developing arm strength but does a solid job getting himself in position to maximize. Right-handed hitter at the plate. Narrow upright base with a small stride into contact. Pretty fluid actions with plenty of bat speed. Swing path is mostly level, showing some ability to backspin to the middle of the field.
