Yankees’ Rising Star Ben Rice Impresses Spencer Jones

Promising Prospects Making Waves

Ben Rice’s rapid rise from Double-A Somerset to the Yankees has surprised many. The No. 12 prospect seized his MLB opportunity after Anthony Rizzo’s injury, outpacing his former teammate, the highly regarded Spencer Jones. Jones admires Rice’s success and is eager for his shot.

Jones displayed his potential at the All-Star Futures Game, despite striking out frequently during his early season with Somerset. Improvements in mindset and approach have sparked better performance, showcasing his immense potential with an impressive .269/.335/.510 slash line since late May.

Guidance from Hall of Famer Dave Winfield has been instrumental for Jones. Practicing patience, he aims to one day join Rice in the majors, while the Yankees keep an eye on his development as they deal with struggles in their current lineup.
