1 – Ryding High
Ryder Jones is getting plenty of playing time because of various injuries and underperformance, and he’s made the most of it lately. After a slow start to his big league career, Jones has gotten his feet under him and is beginning to show off some of the power that made him a good prospect in the system.
Jones collected two hits on Tuesday. His first was a long double in the right-center field gap, and the second was his second career home run. On a Kyle Barraclough fastball well up and in, Jones kept his hands in and got the bat head out in front, pulling the offering just inside the right field fair/foul pole.
