Jones attended La Mirada High School in La Mirada, California.[1][2] He was drafted by the Pittsburgh Pirates in the second round of the 2020 Major League Baseball draft,[3] and signed with the Pirates rather than play college baseball at the University of Texas at Austin.[4][5]
Jones made his professional debut in 2021 with the Bradenton Marauders.[6] Over 18 games (15 starts), he went 3–6 with a 4.64 earned run average (ERA) and 103 strikeouts over 66 innings pitched.[7] He spent the 2022 season with the High–A Greensboro Grasshoppers, making 26 starts and compiling a 5–7 record and 4.62 ERA with 142 strikeouts across 122+2⁄3 innings pitched.[8]
Jones split the 2023 season between the Double–A Altoona Curve and Triple–A Indianapolis Indians. In 26 games (25 starts) for the two affiliates, he accumulated a 5–9 record and 3.85 ERA with 146 strikeouts across 126+1⁄3 innings of work.[9]
On March 25, 2024, the Pirates announced that Jones had made their Opening Day roster.[10] He formally had his contract selected on March 28.[11]
