Spencer Jones, a 23-year-old outfielder in the New York Yankees organization, has been turning heads with his impressive performances this season. With his elite raw power, excellent speed, and improving contact skills, Jones has the potential to become one of the best prospects in baseball.

These improvements have led to an impressive .423 batting average, .692 slugging percentage, and 227 wRC+ through his first seven games at Double-A. If Jones continues to progress at this pace, he could force the Yankees’ hand and earn a promotion to the major leagues in the near future.
