Aaron Boone Makes Spencer Jones Statement
After the game, manager Aaron Boone was asked about Jones (via YES Network).
Reporter: “What do you think of Jones’ development in the last month or so?”
Boone: “It’s been good. Really encouraging. I’ve used the word adaptability. He’s shown some real awareness of strengths and weaknesses, his own, who he’s facing. He’s done a good job for us. And obviously got a couple good swings off today. First at-bat smokes the ball to second for the line out, and then obviously hits the homer. So he’s done a good job.”
Jones is in the middle of his rookie season.
He was picked in the 1st round of the 2022 MLB Draft out of Vanderbilt.
