Yankees Promote Spencer Jones to Triple-A
Spencer Jones, the New York Yankees' No. 2 prospect and 2022 first-round draft pick, has been promoted from Double-A Somerset to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, bringing him one step closer to the major leagues. The 24-year-old outfielder, who is often compared to Aaron Judge for his size and power, led the Eastern League with 16 home runs and posted a .274/.389/.594 slash line with a .984 OPS over 49 games. Jones has made notable improvements in his hitting approach, increasing his fly-ball and walk rates while slightly reducing his strikeouts compared to last season. He recently returned from an intercostal injury and was named Eastern League Player of the Week after a strong stretch that included a walk-off single in his final Double-A game. Despite ongoing concerns about his strikeout rate, Jones' offensive production and speed (10 stolen bases) have kept him among the Yankees' top prospects. His promotion makes him a potential candidate for a major league call-up later this season, though the Yankees' outfield remains crowded.
