2023 Fantasy Outlook
The Yankees continued their trend of taking lefty-hitting college bats, selecting Jones with the 25th overall pick in last year's draft. Being listed at 6-foot-7, 225 pounds and having posted mammoth exit velocities as an amateur, Jones was a natural fit with the Yankees. Unfortunately, now we have to deal with the lazy left-handed Aaron Judge comparisons. Jones is a good athlete for his size and has advanced power to the opposite field. He slashed .325/.411/.494 with a 10.5 BB%, 18.9 K%, three home runs and 10 steals in 22 games at Single-A, and is already making waves with his batted-ball data. According to Prospects Live, his 90th percentile exit velocity was elite. Jones wouldn't have been available where the Yankees selected him if there weren't hit tool concerns, but his fantasy upside is so high and his pro debut was so strong that it's worth rolling the dice on Jones in the first round of first-year player drafts.

Mashing at High-A
Jones is slashing .351/.405/.730 with three home runs, two steals and a 14:4 K:BB in 42 plate appearances with High-A Hudson Valley.
ANALYSIS
The 25th overall pick in last year's draft, Jones still isn't at an age-appropriate level, but if he keeps mashing High-A pitching, he could spend a good chunk of the year at Double-A. Jones has an elite 65 percent hard-hit rate and a similarly unsustainable .476 BABIP, but we knew entering the season that he would be an exit velocity darling. The big question is whether he will make enough contact in the upper levels to get to his impressive raw tools.
