This was not the April that Damon Jones had envisioned following his breakout minor-league season in 2019. In all likelihood, the hard-throwing left-hander would have been getting ready to finish the first month of the Triple-A season if the outbreak of COVID-19 hadn’t put baseball — and much of the world — on hold.
Instead of pitching in Lehigh Valley, Jones is staying in his parents’ home in Idaho with his fiancee and daughter. And despite the difficult circumstances, the 25-year-old is certainly aware that he is in a better position than others in regards to this pandemic.
