Spencer Jones says his offseason swing changes have the Yankees prospect feeling “dangerous” heading into his fourth pro season, and the big-swinging outfielder will be a prime attraction as Major League Baseball holds its second annual Spring Breakout games.
Generally speaking, spring training numbers don't mean anything. The competition varies so much -- a hitter could face a Cy Young winner in his first at-bat and a kid ticketed for Single-A in his second -- and the sample sizes are so small that it's hard to really find meaning in anything.
Health has been hard to come by for LeMahieu over the last several years. Among other issues, he dealt with two significant foot injuries between 2022 and 2024. Last spring, he broke his foot on a foul ball in spring training. He returned to the lineup midseason, only to endure the worst campaign of his career.
