Jones was selected in the first round (third overall) of the 1982 Major League Baseball draft by the Padres out of Thomas Jefferson High School in Dallas, Texas.[1] While in high school Jones had gained national attention for striking out 28 batters in a 16-inning play-off game while throwing 251 pitches. Jones claimed in a 2004 interview that his arm was so sore two days after the marathon effort that he could not throw a baseball from third base to first base.[2][citation needed]
Jones threw a one-hit shutout against the first-place Houston Astros in his big league debut on September 21, 1986.[3] He was the first pitcher to throw a one-hitter in his debut game since Billy Rohr in 1967.
