Comparisons are inevitable throughout any draft process, but in most cases they are unfair to the player getting picked because of the lofty expectations they create. 

Spencer Jones doesn’t mind. 

The Yankees’ first-round pick last month, who has been followed by Aaron Judge comparisons that only grew louder when he was drafted by the same organization as Judge, isn’t shying away from them. 

“I think it’s cool more than anything else,” Jones said Thursday on a conference call. “It doesn’t concern me at all or add anything. I just feel like it’s cool that people like to make comparisons like that. I’m excited to get to work and show people what I can do.” 

Jones, the No. 25-overall pick out of Vanderbilt who signed for the slot value of $2.88 million, is a 6-foot-7 outfielder who hails from California — the same description that fit Judge when the Yankees drafted him out of college with their first-round pick in 2013. 

While Jones has a left-handed swing to Judge’s right-handed, their big frames, power potential and other strong tools drew early parallels. Jones first heard it in high school, when his adviser would tell him he could be “the next left-handed Aaron Judge.” They came again last summer, when Jones played for the Brewster Whitecaps in the Cape Cod Baseball League — the same team Judge played for in 2012 — and coaches joked about another tall outfielder in Brewster. 

“It’s cool,” Jones said. “I’m really excited to eventually meet him at some point. I’ve heard great things about his personality and him as a teammate and great leader. I’m excited to get to know him and learn from him as much as I possibly can.” 

Jones said he would pick Judge’s brain about his routine and recovery, how he maintains weight through the season and how he attacks the offseason. 

In the meantime, Jones is off to a strong start in professional baseball as the Yankees have signed all 20 of their picks from July’s draft. The center fielder played three games in the Florida Complex League (rookie) before being promoted to Low-A Tampa, where he was batting 6-for-21 (.286) with a double, home run and two stolen bases in six games. 

“It’s definitely moved pretty quick the last month or so,” Jones said. “It’s been cool. Getting the opportunity to play every day is extremely special, so I’m taking advantage of it.”
