Aaron Boone said of the outfielder's size being an obstacle: "I think it is probably a longer learning curve, especially hitting, especially with how hard hitting is now, too."

Spencer Jones likely won’t make the New York Yankees' Opening Day roster, especially after an up-and-down 2024 in the Minors. But he's still carrying the hopes of Yankees fans on his back, hoping he can live up to the Aaron Judge-sized hype that's followed him over the last few years.

Yankees manager Aaron Boone says that lefty-hitting outfielder Spencer Jones' talent ceiling "is enormous.'' Jones blasted his first homer of the exhibition season Saturday.
