But first, he made a splash at the MLB Futures Game.
The homer came a half-inning after Dominguez dropped a fly ball in deep center field for a two-run error. The 19-year-old found instant redemption with his 415-foot shot off Harrison. Shortly before the game, the Yankees announced Dominguez’s promotion — which will take effect following the All-Star break — providing him a new challenge for the second half of his second season in professional baseball.Tampa manager Rachel Balkovec delivered the news to Dominguez on Thursday before he left for the Futures Game.Dominguez, who has been heavily hyped since he signed with the Yankees for $5.1 million in 2019 out of the Dominican Republic, is the club’s No. 3 prospect and the No.
“The experience is important, but I was able to work on my discipline at the plate,” Dominguez said through an interpreter before the game. “There’s always going to be more to learn, more to experience, more to get used to. So yeah, there’s a lot to learn still.”
