Jones, 23, was New York's first-round draft pick in 2022. He played the entire season in Double-A a year ago and hit a respectable .259/.336/.452 with 17 home runs, though that slash line came with 200 strikeouts. Jones struck out in close to 40% of his plate appearances and became the first Yankees' minor leaguer ever with a 200-strikeout season.

Yankees great CC Sabathia says we shouldn't be so quick to credit the Yankees early success to new torpedo bats, but rather the Brewers' subpar pitching.
