As the Yankees prepare to face the Orioles this weekend, there’s hope outfielder Aaron Judge will be returning from the injured list. Whenever he does, New York could still use another outfielder. It’s too bad top prospect Spencer Jones isn’t ready for the big leagues yet.
But whenever he is, one scout thinks he’ll be there for the long haul.
Bill Pintard is the head coach of the Santa Barbara Foresters, a team Jones played on for two summers while at Vanderbilt. Pintard also has more than 20 years of MLB scouting experience between the Angels and Yankees.
