Druw Jones, 2024 All-Star Futures Game participant, did it all in high school (video)
Less than two months after winning a Georgia high school baseball state championship, Druw Jones celebrated again after becoming the No. 2 overall pick in the 2022 MLB Draft.
Two years and one major injury later, Jones was chosen Tuesday to play in the 2024 All-Star Futures Game on Saturday, July 13, at Globe Life Field in Arlington, Texas.
One of his teammates on the NL roster is fellow top-five 2022 pick and Georgia high school baseball star Termarr Johnson (Mays High).
Jones hit .570 with a .675 on-base percentage during his state championship-winning senior season.
Among his 65 hits were 13 homers, seven doubles and three triples. He scored 72 runs, drove in 39 and struck out just nine times while drawing 33 walks, and he stole 32 bases. He also went 10-1 on the mound.
Check out the highlights below of Jones singling, pitching, homering and hyping up his dugout during his senior year at Wesleyan High School:
With the amount of smiling you see from Jones in the video, it's no surprise that he's the son of one of the smiliest players in MLB history, Andruw Jones.
This year in the minors playing for the Single-A Visalia Rawhide in California, Druw Jones is hitting .263 with a .380 on-base percentage, slugging four homers, driving in 36 runs and stealing seven bases in 228 at-bats.
