PROSPECT: Spencer Jones, OF, New York Yankees
ANALYSIS: Considered an elite two-way talent coming out of high school in California, Spencer Jones was a tough sign due to his desire to work on both sides of the ball. So he went to Vanderbilt and the Yankees made him the 25th overall selection in 2022.
Jones moved to a full-time outfielder by the time he was done at Vanderbilt, with his enormous 6'7" frame punishing baseballs. He hit very well in his pro debut last year, slashing .344/.425/.538 between the complex and Single-A. He's spent all of 2023 so far at High-A. He's definitely shown his raw power, with 10 home runs and 20 doubles over 68 games while stealing 21 bases as well. But the strikeout rate has been rough, at 31%.
VERDICT: The raw talent with Jones is incredible, and a guy with his skill set and size rarely has a middle ground. He could take a number of years to finally click. When he does, he could be special. For now, a deep dynasty league is the only spot I could insist he's owned in.
