Two-way player Jones goes to Giants in Round 14

The Giants selected left-handed pitcher Nick Jones in the 14th round of the First-Year Player Draft.

While Jones excelled both as a pitcher and a first baseman in college, he projects best as a pitcher at the next level.

Jones was recently named to the 2013 NJCAA All-American baseball team for his role at both positions in 2013. He went 3-0 on the mound, with four saves and a 2.92 ERA.

He also led the team in virtually every offensive category and placed himself among the school's single-season leaders. Overall, Jones hit .393 with seven home runs and 51 RBIs, to go along with a .514 on-base percentage.
