Outfielder Jasson Dominguez is the New York Yankees' No. 2 prospect according to MLB Pipeline.
His launch was delayed due to the pandemic in 2020, but he reached the Futures Game despite being the youngest player in the Florida Coast League. He started this season in Tampa with the Tarpons in Low A, where he played for, the first woman to manage an affiliated professional team. He was sloppy in the field — five errors in the first 22 games — but slashed .266/.374/.440 and was selected to participate in the Futures Game again at Dodger Stadium.
“The speed can kind of sneak up on you,” Blaser said. “All of a sudden, he hits the ball in the gap, he hits first base, you’re not sure what it is going to turn into and then he’s at third base, standing up.” “The raw tools blew the industry away when he first signed with us. Now you’re seeing the total package coming together.”Dominguez had come a long way from a May report by scouts that he looked overmatched at the plate and disinterested in the field, possibly because this was the first time in his young career that he had struggled. He had silenced those critics in Hudson Valley.
He proved adept at adjusting. On Star Wars Night, he wore a jersey with Dart Vader emblazoned across his chest as he ran out of the dugout and swerved to avoid costumed actors performing a light saber fight in foul territory. Two innings later, as a right-handed batter, he went the opposite way with a liner that split the left-center gap to the wall. He jetted to first base, hesitated briefly rounding second and looked back over his shoulder as he headed for third.
