With the New York Yankees' decision to send youngster Anthony Volpe down to Triple-A, optioning the former starting shortstop, there have been some questions about who they will give a chance to next.
As things currently stand, Jasson Dominguez is obviously the one in line to continue playing at the highest level.
Many Yankees fans want Spencer Jones to have that opportunity as well, but it doesn't look like it will be coming anytime soon.
For fans who want that, the reason he isn't up continues to be the same problem that we've seen from the youngster over the past few years. It was recently broken down by The Athletic.
“Jones’ issues remain the same. The power is otherworldly, but he’s still not making enough contact. According to FanGraphs, Jones’ 67.1 percent zone contact rate would be the worst for any MLB player since the stat started being tracked — and of course, Jones’ mark is from Triple-A,” Chris Kirschner wrote.
