Yankees Legend Makes Bold Jones Statement
Before Saturday’s game, Yankees legend Willie Randolph was asked about Jones (via YES Network).
Bob Lorenz: “Spencer Jones is doing it all in his third call-up right now. Feels like he’s getting in a really good rhythm. So much so that it’s another lefty-on-lefty challenge for him today. Boone putting him in there. What are you seeing with him against lefties?”
Randolph: “Well, Boone was just talking about it, and it’s spot on. He’s letting the ball travel deep. He’s hitting the ball the other way. He’s so strong, Bob. He doesn’t have to generate power… He’s so strong that he can just fist the ball out of there and get those RBI knocks… He knows he can go deep. So just put the ball in play, let the ball travel deep, get into it, keep your hands inside the ball, and he’s so strong that if you make contact, something good’s going to happen.”
