MLB World Reacts To Jones’ Debut
Here’s what people were saying about Jones:
@VirginiaYankee1: “Spencer Jones’s 2nd big-league PA is a 7-pitch walk with some good takes”
Chris Kirschner: “The first pitch Spencer Jones saw in the big leagues: 104 mph Welcome to the show”
@eyyankees: “Spencer Jones worked a walk in his second plate appearance. Love to see it!”
@TalkinYanks: “Spencer Jones strikes out on four pitches in his first major league at bat”
@Thats_BB_Suzyn: “I know Spencer Jones’ open stance looks ridiculous. But…Ben Rice and Aaron Judge both had similar stances when they came on the scene. They are sacrificing power to see the ball better. When you’re that big and strong, you still have more than enough power to work with.”
Greg Joyce: “Spencer Jones draws a full-count walk in his second at-bat against Misiorowski.”
Gary Phillips: “Spencer Jones struck out against Jacob Misiorowski in his first MLB at-bat. The first pitch he saw was 103.6 mph.”
@yankeesondeck_: “Jacob Misirowowski throwing 104 to Spencer Jones. Welcome to the big leagues kid. Two strikeouts tonight but this whole lineup outside of caballero has been striking out it feels like so honestly whatever.”
Jones had been off to an excellent start to the season in Triple-A.
The 24-year-old is batting .258 with 11 home runs and 41 RBI’s in 33 games.
He was the 25th pick in the 2022 MLB Draft out of Vanderbilt.
