From the Field: Daniel Jones, of, Air Force Baseball

 

The Air Force Academy baseball team was in town this weekend. They are a really fun team, but its always hard to tell who are legit prospects since they play in Colorado, and the air up there tends to really help the offensive numbers.

The one player that I was interested in was Daniel Jones. His numbers last season were pretty awesome, hitting .371/.427/.786 with 7 HR in only 70 at-bats. Those were impressive numbers, especially since he was not a full-time starter.

This season, his junior season, he should be in the line-up every night. This weekend he went 3-11, which is not bad considering it was the first series of the weekend–in a different hemisphere–and against one of the better collection of starters in college baseball.
