Yankees Prospect Jones Unleashes Homer Barrage in Triple-A

Power-Hitting First Baseman Ties Minor League Home Run Lead

Rochester, NY — New York Yankees prospect Spencer Jones delivered a show-stopping performance, hitting three home runs in his first three at-bats during Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre’s 10-8 defeat to Rochester on Thursday. The towering left-handed hitter now stands alone atop the minor league leaderboard with 29 dingers.

Jones Ties Major League Prospect Record

The 24-year-old former Vanderbilt star has been on a tear since his promotion to Triple-A, smashing 13 homers in just 19 games. The Yankees selected him 25th overall in the 2022 Major League Baseball draft. His three-homer game is a career first, with all long balls coming off pitcher **Bryce Conley**, and remarkably, all on two-strike counts.

Jones’ first blast, a 401-foot shot to left-center, came on a changeup. He followed that with a 425-foot opposite-field drive in the third inning and capped his offensive display with a 433-foot blast to center in the fifth. Defensively, he also contributed with a sliding catch to end the fifth inning.

His prolific power surge places him in elite company; as of mid-season 2025, Triple-A hitters averaged one home run every 23 at-bats. Jones’ rate in his last 19 games is significantly better. Minor League Baseball Stats (2025)

Despite the impressive power display, **Jones** ended his day with a strikeout in his fourth plate appearance and a pop-out in his fifth.
