MLB World Reacts To Spencer Jones’ Debut

Here’s what people were saying about Jones:

@VirginiaYankee1: “Spencer Jones’s 2nd big-league PA is a 7-pitch walk with some good takes”

Chris Kirschner: “The first pitch Spencer Jones saw in the big leagues: 104 mph Welcome to the show”

@eyyankees: “Spencer Jones worked a walk in his second plate appearance. Love to see it!”

@TalkinYanks: “Spencer Jones strikes out on four pitches in his first major league at bat”

@Thats_BB_Suzyn: “I know Spencer Jones’ open stance looks ridiculous. But…Ben Rice and Aaron Judge both had similar stances when they came on the scene. They are sacrificing power to see the ball better. When you’re that big and strong, you still have more than enough power to work with.”

Gary Phillips: “Spencer Jones struck out against Jacob Misiorowski in his first MLB at-bat. The first pitch he saw was 103.6 mph.”
