The Major League Baseball season is delayed due to the lockout, but the presumptive No. 1 pick in the upcoming MLB draft is already starting his season. It didn’t take long at all for Druw Jones to make an impact.
Jones — a 6-foot-3 outfielder at Wesleyan School in the Atlanta area — is the son of former Braves outfielder Andruw Jones. And just two weeks into his senior season, we’re seeing how Jones can handle the immense hype and pressure.
Video went viral this week from Wesleyan’s Wednesday night game against Decatur High School. With the crowd chanting “overrated” at Jones, the 18-year-old launched a massive home run to center field. But check out how he responded to the crowd as he approached home plate.
