This has caused no small amount of consternation among fans of the New York Yankees, especially as Juan Soto heads across town and the team becomes increasingly dependent on its top prospect blossoming into a star.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-1\">But amid all the criticisms, it&#8217;s worth remembering that the Yankees aren\u2019t depending on Dominguez winning a Gold Glove. The 22-year-old will be on the Opening Day roster because of his bat, and that bat still comes with a ton of upside \u2014 a fact that Dominguez reminded everybody of during Thursday\u2019s Spring Training contest against the Detroit Tigers, when he went yard off of top prospect Jackson Jobe.<\/p>\n<figure>\n<blockquote>\n<div dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">\n<p>Jasson Dominguez homered today off Jackson Jobe.<\/p>\n<p>Wait for the slo-mo angle of it \ud83d\udc40<\/p>\n<p>Dominguez (28th) and Jobe (3rd) both rank prominently on our Top 100.<\/p>\n<p>(\ud83d\udcfd\ufe0f via @jnorris427) pic.twitter.com\/dZKigOILC8<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>https:\/\/twitter.com\/BaseballAmerica\/status\/1900256143835811916?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/figure>\n<p id=\"inline-text-3\">The Yankees&#8217; No. 1 prospect has all the tools to be a prominent piece in their lineup for years to come. His power\/speed combination has never been in question, and in the Minors, Dominguez showed off his ability to get on base at a high clip. Across four Minor League seasons, he posted a .373 on-base percentage. He also slugged .504 in 58 Minor League games in 2024. Those are impressive numbers, and if New York is going to reach its ceiling this season, they&#8217;re going to need their young outfielder to hit the ground running.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-4\"><em><strong>For more news and rumors, check out MLB Insider Robert Murray\u2019s work on<\/strong><\/em>The Baseball Insiders podcast<em><strong>, subscribe to<\/strong><\/em>The Moonshot<em><strong>, our weekly MLB newsletter, and join the discord to get the inside scoop during the MLB season.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"inline-text-5\">Dom\u00ednguez could lift the Yankees lineup in 2025<\/h2>\n<p id=\"inline-text-6\">Aaron Boone will count on his veterans, such as Aaron Judge, Jazz Chisholm Jr., Cody Bellinger, and Paul Goldschmidt. But outside of those four, he\u2019ll entrust his young players to produce. Austin Wells, Anthony Volpe, and Dom\u00ednguez have something to prove, and out of those three, Dom\u00ednguez has far and away the most offensive potential. It\u2019s not a knock on Volpe or Wells, but the young outfielder can change the trajectory of this Yankees lineup.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-7\">Outside of the two-time American League MVP, the Yankees don\u2019t have anyone in their current lineup who hit over 30 home runs in either of the last two years. I\u2019m not saying Dom\u00ednguez needs to hit 30 homers in his rookie season, but his team does need him to produce offensively at a high level.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-8\">Going into 2025, Brian Cashman was hoping the strength of his team would be their pitching. They have a solid bullpen, with Devin Williams joining the picture. However, their rotation took a massive hit when both Gerrit Cole (done for the year) and Luis Gil (out at least until midsummer) went down with injury.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-9\">The American League isn\u2019t the National League. Even without two of their top pitchers, the Yankees can still have a great season. New York\u2019s veterans in the lineup should do what they\u2019ve done across their careers. Dom\u00ednguez is the X-factor, though. If the 22-year-old cements himself as a feared hitter, they should have no problem finding success in 2025.<\/p>\n<figure><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jasson Dom\u00ednguez isn\u2019t an A+ left fielder defensively, but the New York Yankees aren\u2019t expecting him to be.
