Nolan Jones is going back to the future.
Jones, a 26-year-old outfielder and a Holy Ghost Prep graduate from Langhorne, was traded from the Colorado Rockies to the Cleveland Guardians on Saturday night for infielder Tyler Freeman.
Jones was a second-round pick (No. 55 overall) in the 2016 MLB Draft by the Guardians and made his MLB debut with Cleveland in 2022. He finished fourth in the NL Rookie of the Year voting with the Rockies in ’23, hitting .297 with 22 doubles, 20 home runs and 20 stolen bases in 106 games.
Jones batted .227 with 13 doubles and 3 home runs in 79 games last season for Colorado. As a rookie for Cleveland in 2022, he hit .244 in 28 games.
The Guardians had traded the 6-foot-5, 225-pound Jones to the Rockies on Nov. 15, 2022, for infield prospect Juan Brito.
Jones had a superb 2016 senior season as a shortstop at Holy Ghost, where he had an on-base percentage of .784, a .644 batting average and team-leading totals in home runs (6), RBIs (27), runs (28), and steals (19).
Jones had committed to play college baseball at Virginia but agreed to a $2.25 million signing bonus with Cleveland that July 1.
