The New York Yankees are calling up outfield prospect Spencer Jones, MLB insider Jon Heyman reports.
Jones, 24, is the Yankees’ number six prospect according to MLB Pipeline. The towering left-hander stands at a whopping 6â7 “, 240 lbs. The sheer size combination of Jones and Aaron Judge should provide for some on-field theatrics in the Bronx. Whether thatâs fun-sized home runs that travel 450+ feet, or watching the Yankees’ corner outfielders loom over the competition.Â

New York has been on fire as of late. The Bronx Bombers, spearheaded by Judge’s hot streak, are currently 26-12.
Jones adds yet another weapon to an already dynamic offense. With the recent floundering of former top prospect Anthony Volpe, New York is due for a breakout bat.
