#RepBXMLB World Reacts To Jones’ Performance
Here’s what people were saying about Jones:
@JosephEsposito0: “You can only hope Spencer Jones has the career track of Aaron Judge and Ben Rice (struggled in their 1st stint in the majors and then had success). Chasing a major outlier with his profile but the potential is certainly there.”
@MLBPipeline: “115 MPH 🚀 @Yankees No. 6 prospect Spencer Jones‘ first homer back at Triple-A was a LASER for the @swbrailriders :”
@RotoLegends: “Spencer Jones Unleashes A Laser ⚾️ 115 MPH exit velocity Jones absolutely obliterated this ball for his first home run back at Triple-A.”
@funwithnumberz: “LOL Spencer Jones hit another HR tonight for Scranton. Now has a nearly 1.000 OPS there.”
@zachefiene: “I fear Spencer Jones is probably a Quad A player for a while. Would absolutely trade him for some bullpen help”
@tosprov: “Keep on hitting in AAA. Too many holes in his swing for the Majors. Should be traded at the deadline”
@cai_rogers7: “Spencer Jones DESTROYS this homer in his 1st game back in AAA since his 1st MLB stint!! His 12th of the year 115 MPH EV BTW👀🔥”
Looking At Jones
Jones was picked in the first round of the 2022 MLB Draft.
