Jason Jones (1996-99) was one of the most prolific hitters to ever don the Black and Gold pinstripes. A four-year letterman, Jones' name can be found on virtually every Kennesaw State offensive top 10 list. The 1998 NCAA Division II Player of the Year holds five KSU single-season records and five career records, including most home runs (58), RBI (234) and hits (285). He also set a then-national record with a 41-game hitting streak during the 1998 season. During his tremendous stint at KSU Jones helped lead the Owls to four consecutive NCAA Division II College Baseball World Series appearances - which included three national title games and winning one championship (1996). KSU's four-year record during that time was 206-50 for a winning percentage of .805. The career .372 switch-hitter also claimed back-to-back Peach Belt Conference and South Atlantic Region Player of the Year honors in 1998-99. Jones was drafted by the Texas Rangers after his senior season, and on July 3, 2003 became the third player in Kennesaw State history to make his major league debut.
