Spencer Jones is already beginning to make a name for himself with the Yankees, and the baseball world is taking notice. Though FanGraphs’ prospect rankings for the Yankees haven’t been released yet, Baseball Prospectus’ have, and in a rather surprising move, they’ve ranked Jones higher than Jasson Dominguez (No. 3 in the organization, No. 4 in the organization).
It may seem like a bit of a reach considering Jones has barely even played a season’s worth of pro baseball for the club, but it certainly isn’t dumbfounding.
Our own Ryan Garcia did a fantastic deep dive into what makes Jones such a force on the baseball field, and perhaps Baseball Prospectus read that piece prior to making their list.
