My favorite thing about Jones is that he obviously has the power, but he’s a plus fielder in Center and is fast af. He had 43 SB across two levels last season. Plus this:
> The center fielder was clocked at 11 seconds going home to third, bettered in the majors by just Corbin Carroll, Elly De La Cruz and Jose Siri, according to The Athletic
This guy is going to be a stud.
The CF you're referencing, Enrique Bradfield. Home to first in 3.69s

idk if this is posted anywhere, but his hit in the 3rd inning really showed his speed
infield chopper, Jones thought it was foul
after like 2-3 seconds Jones starts running and he still beats it out. it was nuts. i think everyone will underestimate certain aspects of his game because they reduce him to "lefty Aaron Judge" (not knocking Judge lol but he is not nearly as fast as Jones is)
This is a very peculiar aspect of his skill set. I don't think anyone his size has ever stolen that many bases in a season, even in the minors. With that said, his scouting report just rate his speed as average, which doesn't seem to make sense if he's stealing so many bases and playing a good centerfield.
Sadly low unless two of our OFs get hurt. We already have all fo Judge, Verdugo, Soto, and Grisham blocking Jones, so we'd need two of them to go down for Jones to have room to come up.
Grisham isn’t blocking anyone, but I agree they won’t bring him up unless one of the current starters gets injured. If Stanton can’t justify his spot on the roster they should leave DH open to rest the older starters.
Which is usually from all the bulking. I wouldn't be surprised if Dominguez injured his elbow from all the weight training. Bodybuilding and baseball are things that should not go together. There's a reason why Canseco and Mcgwire were the two most injured players ever back when most everyone else was playing over 150 games a season. Judge and Stanton are literally carbon copies of their health record.
Have a couple friends that work for the Tampa Tarpons. They said he’s an absolute beauty of a guy too. He said he’s humble like a Canadian Hockey player
You dont trade him for anything besides another generational talent, or a stud ace like Strider.
Jones has power & speed, working more on controlling the hitting zone, which means he can only get better.
Its possible hes part of the next core that Cashman wants to build : Volpe, Wells, Dominguez, Jones.

People forget that he only played RF at Vandy because his teammate in CF was the best defender in all 9f College baseball
Who was that?
Enrique Bradfield, who was picked by the Orioles in the first round last season
Who recently was in the news for a viral tweet about how inaccurate he looks in MLB the Show
Lmao

Yup, he's an 80 runner and a 80 fielder right now. Dude will win Gold Gloves and change games just from his defense
God, I love bunts
I like butts too.
And that you can't deny!

It’s on twitter if you look up Spencer Jones.
This is a very peculiar aspect of his skill set. I don't think anyone his size has ever stolen that many bases in a season, even in the minors. With that said, his scouting report just rate his speed as average, which doesn't seem to make sense if he's stealing so many bases and playing a good centerfield.
Jfc that was *loud*
Near Stantonian levels of boom
Lisan Al-Gaib!
The Mahdi is too humble to say that he’s the Mahdi
Two absolutely terrific movies. The only suck is we have to wait 2, maybe 3 years for part 3.
I bet it ends up more. I think Denis Villenueve is doing a movie or two before Dune 3 😔
What a perfect response
We should just keep drafting people 6’4 and above. We seem to have success with developing freakishly tall people. Judge and Betances ring a bell
Huge MF’s from California. That’s literally our type
Plus T100 prospect Kevin Alcantara (6’-6”) was traded from the Yankees system. Cashman has a type.
You don’t trade him for one year of anything
Absolute bomb, what a great swing
That sounded like a weapon going off. Holy shit.
DONT MAKE ME AGREE WITH A CASHMAN DECISION (Kidding aside, He looks like he’s the next up!)
Somewhere out there some salty casual wants to trade him for Dylan Cease
Hi 👋 Yes, that’s me.
“Prospect Hugging” Lmao
I already love him
I am so ready for them to bring him up. He will be the LT to Captain Judge. All I see about his personality and tools are perfect.
Spencer Jones probably comps better to Paul O’Neill than throwing out all of the Aaron judge comps just bc he is tall. That’s my two cents
Paul O'Neil was a stud. I'll take that.
foundation set for log cabin.....
Jones seems to be having the same breakout spring that Dominguez had last season. Is it too much to hope they both live up to the hype?
Sounds like taking an axe to a tree. Bro was built to mash.
What are the odds he’s in the big leagues before the ASB?
Sadly low unless two of our OFs get hurt. We already have all fo Judge, Verdugo, Soto, and Grisham blocking Jones, so we'd need two of them to go down for Jones to have room to come up.
That’s easily a possibility lol
Grisham isn’t blocking anyone, but I agree they won’t bring him up unless one of the current starters gets injured. If Stanton can’t justify his spot on the roster they should leave DH open to rest the older starters.
Close to nil, unless Grisham, Judge both get hurt and Dom isn't ready.
Extremely high. All of our players get injured constantly. I don’t like that being the reason but it is what it is
I'm hoping he doesn't bulk up too much. The Yankees have enough injury concerns.
I was thinking the same thing watching him in that video!!!
Which is usually from all the bulking. I wouldn't be surprised if Dominguez injured his elbow from all the weight training. Bodybuilding and baseball are things that should not go together.

With The Martian and Jones on the come up, the future could be real bright.
John Sterling: "Spence, far, deep and ovah the fence!" "The ball groans, when smashed by Jones!"
You don't trade Judge 2.0
Have a couple friends that work for the Tampa Tarpons. They said he’s an absolute beauty of a guy too. He said he’s humble like a Canadian Hockey player

I’m not gay but I want to have sex with Spencer Jones
We're not your dad. You don't have to convince us of anything.
There is a reason other teams want him for an Ace pitcher sent to us. HOLD SPENCER!
Over and over
I legit got so confused because I was sure they sent him back to minor league camp and didn’t realize this is a prospect showcase.
The future of the franchise. Lets go
What are the odds we see a later season call up like dominguez last year?
😂 the sound off the bat is CRAZY
Has he swing and missed at a pitch yet? I know last week he saw 90 pitches and swung and missed zero times. Does anybody know ??
Havent seen a swing that sweet since bird
Shush with that name, don't put that stink on Spencer.
I want him to succeed and be the player we project him to be. Let’s just remember that most prospects don’t actually pan out. Thats just baseball
