MLB Draft 2022: Yankees select Spencer Jones with first-round pick - Pinstripe Alley

This season, Jones put up big numbers playing against quality Southeastern Conference (SEC) competition with a .370/.460/.644 triple slash in 61 games and 272 plate appearances. The left-handed hitter recorded 36 extra-base hits, including 12 home runs on the year.

Playing against some of the best competition in college baseball, Jones posted very strong exit velocities and made good swing decisions. He is reported to have recorded the hardest-hit ball in the history of college baseball, checking in at over 119 mph with a line drive early this year. Jones also followed that up with a 112-mph hit during the MLB Draft Combine with a wooden bat that registered as the highest exit velocity at the event.

So apparently this kid hits the ball hard.

Jones will immediately draw comparisons to Aaron Judge based on his size and the obvious power potential. In recent years, the Yankees have drafted and developed both Wells and Anthony Volpe into highly-rated prospects and hope that trend continues.

Can’t even imagine the haul of prospects this would take…

Yankees absolute dream trade target: Juan Soto

2nd Round pick from last night. Big RHP with good off speed stuff.

Yankees 2022 first-half report card: A whole lot of A's
Carpenter has definitely been a great addition.
Gallo has been a huge disappointment. I hope he can turn it around in the 2nd half of the season.

Michael King is likely done for the year.

So now the needs before the deadline:

OF
SP

Gallo and Chapman need to be DFA'd

Think we can trade Cole?

Somebody is going to take Gallo’s salary in a dump.

And I said trade Chapman the second he comes back healthy.

No one wants either to the point where you'd get anything in return worth a damn

Nobody wants Gallo. Somebody will take his salary on though.
