Overview
- The 24-year-old, called up on short notice, opened with a strikeout-heavy weekend against Milwaukee’s high-velocity arms including Jacob Misiorowski at 103 mph.
- He then recorded his first big-league hit and RBI on a 106.4 mph single off Logan Henderson, celebrating with teammates and family.
- Manager Aaron Boone said Jones had good at-bats and recognized the strike zone despite the early strikeouts.
- Early tracking shows 1-for-9 with a walk and five strikeouts, strong bat speed and a low chase rate but too many whiffs that he must trim.
- His Triple-A power came with a 32.4% strikeout rate, and the Yankees will soon weigh keeping him up as Stanton nears a return.
