Spencer Jones Breaks Out Of Extended Power Slump
6 months agoNew York Yankees outfield prospect Spencer Jones launched his third home run of the campaign on Friday, breaking a month-long power drought. The former first-round pick got a small taste of Double-A last summer but has been given an extended opportunity at this level to begin this season. He posted a strong .320/.382/.540 line in April but has gotten a bit cold in the batter's box in May with a .170/.282/.220 line. However, even though Jones is struggling to hit, his elite speed is still playing well at Double-A, as he has already swiped twelve bags this season. MLB Pipeline ranks Jones as the 68th overall prospect in baseball and projects him to reach the major leagues next season. Jones is worth monitoring in dynasty leagues and could be worth stashing later in the summer if he continues to find his footing at Double-A.
