Part 2/7:
This morning, I had the opportunity to delve into the prospects with Jeff Pontis of Baseball America. Although the full podcast will be released on Monday, I felt compelled to share some immediate highlights from our engaging conversation. We discussed the past year’s performance of some top prospects and explored how they can elevate their game in anticipation of the 2025 season.
Pontis pointed out that one prospect, Spencer Jones, could significantly boost his status if he manages to cut down his strikeout rate to around 27 or 28%. His natural size coupled with improved contact could make him a formidable threat in the lineup, akin to the impact that Aaron Judge brings with his frame.
