DENVER – Christian Arroyo is most often lauded as the Giants’ top hitting prospect. He’s the organization’s only position player on Baseball America’s Top 100 list.
But the high school kid drafted one round behind him in 2013 is beginning to make some noise – and he is positioning himself to be the next new face promoted to the Giants roster.
Ryder Jones just turned 23 last week and he hit a home run for the third consecutive game Friday for Triple-A Sacramento. He has 10 homers this season and blends some on-base skills (.295/.393/.563) with his power.
