MLB.com • • sports
Key Points:
- Yankees’ No. 6 prospect, Jones, hit two towering homers including his second grand slam of the season in Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre’s 7-1 win over Buffalo, raising his season total to 10 homers.
- Jones showcased exceptional power with a 117.4 mph exit velocity homer, the second-hardest hit ball in the Minors this season and the hardest in the Yankees organization since 2025.
- Now in his fourth pro season, Jones is known for his 65-grade power, having hit 35 homers last year, and has adjusted his batting stance to reduce strikeouts by blending techniques from Aaron Judge and Shohei Ohtani.
- Despite a high strikeout rate (43 in 31 games), Jones maintains a strong .261/.366/.586 slash line and a .952 OPS, reaching base in all but four games this season.
- While Jones still needs to improve his contact rates before reaching the majors, his raw power and consistency at the plate indicate he could make a significant impact when called up.
