Inside pitch: Jones was the Mariners' first draft pick last June, a supplemental first-round choice and the 37th player overall. Jones, a graduate of Morse High School in San Diego, played for the Mariners' rookie-league team in Peoria, Ariz., last summer.
On his first camp: "I'm comfortable, and knowing I'm new they haven't been loading me up with changes or that sort of thing yet. In the instructional league last fall, they lowered my hands when I hit and had me move them a bit farther from my body."
On mentor Mark McLemore not being with the team: "I miss him, but he called me just before he went to camp with Baltimore and I know we'll be talking again." McLemore, the former Mariners utility man who signed with the Orioles during the offseason, is also from San Diego.
Quotable: "I ran cross-country when I was in junior high, and this was a challenge. And I love a challenge." — Jones on breaking the team record for the treadmill EKG test.
