00:00Spencer Jones gets his long-awaited Yankees call-up after the unfortunate Jason Dominguez injury.
00:06And here's Cody Bellinger on the 6'7", number 6 prospect.
00:10Cody, what were your impressions of Spencer Jones since my training?
00:14It's a large man that hits the ball very far.
00:18But no, honestly, freak athlete too.
00:21I was very, I didn't know the speed.
00:25He's very athletic, moves well, and so, yeah, just a good baseball player.
00:32You know, it's real unfortunate for Jason Dominguez how he's going to be out for a couple of weeks,
00:36but opportunity comes the way that it wants.
00:39Giancarlo Stanton is still on IL with the calf, and opportunity just opened up in the outfield and as a
00:46DH.
00:46And I don't feel like Spencer Jones is coming in with the same type of pressure as Anthony Volpe would
00:52have had he got called up.
00:53I know Anthony Volpe paid shortstop, Spencer Jones is in the outfield,
00:57but I'm talking about the pressure of Anthony Volpe having to step in, step up, and play great baseball right
01:04away.
01:04There's already tape and pressure on him.
01:07Spencer Jones, all he has to do is come in and one match Jason Dominguez effort.
01:13I mean, the man literally crashed out, knocked himself out on a spectacular catch,
01:18and especially an effort on a team that doesn't really need you outside of the fact that it's short bodies.
01:24He's talking about one of the hottest teams in baseball, so the lineup is everyone within the lineup is contributing
01:30right now.
01:31So all he has to do, number two, is have some sort of consistency to him.
01:35Don't come in and be a ooh and ah guy or just an ooh and ah guy.
01:40And what I mean by that is the power is real, but the swing and miss is real as well.
01:46He's hitting a .258, .366, .592 slash with 11 home runs and just 33 AAA games this season, but 46
01:55strikeouts.
01:56That's the ah type part of it.
01:59Now Aaron Boone did say he feels like the last three or four weeks he's been having a lot of
02:04consistent at-bats,
02:05so consistency is what's going to keep this kid in the majors and take advantage of a great opportunity.
