Spencer Jones didn't waste any time proving that his recent promotion to the Triple-A level was warranted.
In his first at-bat for Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Friday night, the Yankees' top prospect showed off his pop, crushing a full-count fastball to dead center for a solo home run against the Red Sox's affiliate. The ball traveled 397 feet, with an exit velocity of 110 mph.
Jones, who's ranked the Yankees' second-best prospect by MLB Pipeline, officially made the move from Double-A Somerset on Friday afternoon. The behemoth 24-year-old thrived in Double-A, posting a .274/.389/.594 slash line with 16 homers and 32 RBI across 49 games.
The red-hot start to his Triple-A stint doesn't come as much of a surprise. Jones entered Friday with a laudable .321 average and 1.039 OPS in June (21 games).
Jones' first Triple-A dinger can be watched below.
