Buck Jones  
Starting Pitcher | Morocco Mayhem

Pitching
It's tough to get much loft on the ball against him, as he works down in the strike zone to begin with and his two-seamer produces mostly groundballs. He's a good late inning man, which is when being a pitcher really counts. Because he can't overpower hitters, Jones has to fool them instead. He's almost as effective against lefthanders as he is versus righthanders.

Defense & Hitting
He tends to fall off slightly to the first-base side of the mound, making him vulnerable to bunts toward third base. He makes up for that minor flaw by being aggressive in fielding his position. He doesn't have much of a pickoff move and he's slow getting the ball to home plate out of the set position. Jones is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Jones has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Morocco Mayhem have been known to use Jones as a pinch-runner on occasion.
