New York Yankees fans have been buzzing about Spencer Jones for years, but it's his girlfriend, Ava O'Connor, who's stealing the spotlight this week. The stunning brunette set social media ablaze with a sizzling swimsuit photo, just as Jones prepares to make his MLB debut against the Milwaukee Brewers.
O'Connor, who has been by Jones' side since at least 2024, posted the eye-catching snap on her Instagram, showing off her toned figure in a tiny bikini. The photo quickly racked up thousands of likes and comments, with fans welcoming her to the Yankees family with open arms.
"Let's go baby! The most deserving incredible man," she wrote in a separate post, expressing her excitement for Jones' call-up. "I love you!"
Jones, a 6-foot-7 powerhouse, has been tearing it up at Triple-A this season, posting a .258 batting average with 11 homers and 41 RBIs in just 33 games. His recent surge, including a stretch of consistent at-bats and fewer strikeouts, convinced the Yankees he's ready for the big stage.
"The last three or four weeks have been a lot of consistent at-bats," Yankees manager Aaron Boone said. "The power has been there; less swing and miss, which is some of the things we were seeing a little bit in Spring Training. After that second week in Triple-A where he struggled a little bit with swing and miss, he's cleaned that up. I think I saw he's leading all of Minor League Baseball in RBIs. He's put himself in the mix."
Jones isn't just a slugger—he's also a freak athlete who swiped 29 bases last season. Teammate Cody Bellinger summed it up perfectly: "That's a large man that hits the ball very far. Freak athlete, too. I didn't know the speed. Very athletic, moves very well, yeah, just a good baseball player."
Fans are already drawing comparisons to team captain Aaron Judge, given Jones' size and power. But while Judge is a future Hall of Famer, Jones is just getting started. The pressure is on, but he's got a strong support system, including O'Connor, who's been his rock through the journey.
Jones will wear No. 78 for the Yankees this weekend, and all eyes will be on him—both on the field and off. With O'Connor's swimsuit photo making waves, the couple is already a hit in the Bronx. And if Jones delivers at the plate, they might just become the next big power couple in sports.
This isn't the first time a sports star's girlfriend has turned heads. Recently, Nick Bosa's girlfriend sparked a similar frenzy in a fiery pink swimsuit, proving that off-field glamour is just as captivating as on-field action.
For now, Yankees fans are hoping Jones' stay in the majors is more than a brief cameo. With his talent and O'Connor by his side, the future looks bright for this dynamic duo.
