New York Yankees<\/a> prospect Spencer Jones homered in his first three at-bats in Triple-A Scranton\/Wilkes-Barre’s 10-8 loss to Rochester on Thursday.<\/p>\nA frequent subject of trade rumors, the left-handed-hitting Jones, a towering figure at the plate at 6-foot-7 and 240 pounds, took the minor league home run lead with 29.<\/p>\n
The 24-year-old former Vanderbilt star has 13 homers in 19 games in Triple-A. New York drafted him 25th overall in 2022.<\/p>\n
Jones had his first three-homer game, with all of them off Bryce Conley — and on two-strike pitches. In the first, Jones hit Conley’s changeup 401 feet to left-center. Jones led off the third with a 425-foot shot to right, and he added a 433-footer to center in the fifth. In the bottom of the fifth, he made a sliding catch to end the inning.<\/p>\n
He struck out in his fourth at-bat and popped out in his fifth.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Jul 24, 2025, 06:43 PM ET ROCHESTER, N.Y. — New York Yankees prospect Spencer Jones homered in his…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":21842,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[435],"tags":[49,48,462,82],"class_list":["post-21841","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-mlb","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-mlb","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21841","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=21841"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21841\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/21842"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=21841"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=21841"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=21841"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
