Jones started the 2012 season hitting .310 with 14 home runs and 31 runs batted in through the Orioles' first 46 games.

 Escalators could raise that total to $91.5 million over the same period.
 The contract surpassed the previous contracts of Miguel Tejada and Nick Markakis as the largest in Orioles' history and makes Jones the second highest paid center fielder in Major League Baseball, behind the Dodgers' Matt Kemp.
Jones hit the second walk-off home run of his career on June 9, a two-run home run in the bottom of the 12th inning that resulted in a 6-4 victory for the Orioles over the Philadelphia Phillies.

On July 1, Jones was selected to be one of the Orioles representatives in the 2012 All Star Game.

Jones hit the 100th home run of his career on August 28 against the Chicago White Sox.
Two days later, he established a new career high by hitting his 26th home run of the season, also against the White Sox.
He finished the regular season with 32 home runs.

On September 30, 2012, Jones was named the Most Valuable Oriole for the second consecutive season.
The Orioles made the playoffs as a Wildcard against Texas Rangers.
Jones hit a sac fly to score a run in the Orioles 5-1 win.
The Baltimore Orioles would later lose to the New York Yankees in the American League Divisional Series.
