The Yankees have a 6-foot-7 slugger tearing up Triple-A, and the comparisons to Aaron Judge are getting harder to ignore.
Spencer Jones homered again Sunday at Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, extending a tear that’s had Yankees fans doing double takes. Since his promotion from Double-A, Jones has been averaging a homer every 10 at-bats at Triple-A.
That’s the kind of power that gets noticed.

Jones isn’t Judge – he’s left-handed and strikes out a bit more. But the former Vanderbilt star has that same kind of raw pop that catches your attention.
What makes this interesting is how similar their minor league numbers look:
Aaron Judge career minor league stats:
1313 AB | .276 AVG | 57 HR | 217 RBI | .842 OPS
Spencer Jones career minor league stats:
1284 AB | .275 AVG | 59 HR | 202 RBI | .843 OPS
I’m not saying Spencer Jones will be Aaron Judge, but these are AWFULLY similar pic.twitter.com/XD5yx3OSpU

Those numbers are almost identical across 1,300 at-bats. It’s the kind of comparison that makes you wonder what might be possible.
The Yankees have always loved their big outfielders, and Jones certainly fits the profile. At 6-foot-7, he’s got the frame to drive balls out of any ballpark when he connects.
Picture this: Two 6-foot-7 sluggers patrolling the same Yankees outfield someday. That’s the kind of lineup protection that opposing pitchers have nightmares about.
Jones still has work to do before that becomes reality, but his recent surge at Triple-A suggests he’s moving in the right direction. When you’re hitting homers at that pace at the highest level of the minors, you’re probably not that far from getting a call.
