Jasson Domínguez's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

New York Yankees general manager Brian Cashman said that it "makes sense" to move outfielder Aaron Judge back to right field in 2025 after the team failed to re-sign superstar outfielder Juan Soto. Manager Aaron Boone mentioned outfield prospect Jasson Dominguez as a leading candidate to start in center field next year, even though Trent Grisham remains under contract. Dominguez, a switch-hitting 21-year-old Dominican, dealt with multiple injuries in 2024 and only played in 18 games at the major-league level with the Yankees after debuting in eight games in 2023 in his rookie campaign. He hit just .179 with two homers and five stolen bases in 56 at-bats last year but has an incredibly high ceiling in both fantasy and real life for the Yankees if he finally is given a shot at regular playing time in the Bronx next year. If he plays a full season in the majors and is healthy, Dominguez should be a lock for a 20-20 showing.

New York Yankees outfield prospect Jasson Dominguez is expected to have a big role at the major-league level in 2025. "I fully expect him to be a big part of what we do this coming year," manager Aaron Boone said. Dominguez dealt with injuries in the minors and ended up playing in only 18 regular-season games at the major-league level with the Yankees in 2024, going 10-for-56 (.179) with two home runs, four RBI and five stolen bases in 67 plate appearances. The 21-year-old Dominican switch-hitter was mostly blocked in left field by Alex Verdugo, but he's a free agent this offseason and most likely won't be re-signed, opening the door for the Yankees' top prospect, per MLB Pipeline, to be on the big-league roster for the entire 2025 campaign. Even if the Yankees re-sign superstar Juan Soto, Dominguez figures to be an everyday player and has massive upside given his elite power/speed combination.

New York Yankees outfield prospect Jasson Dominguez is on the bench again for Game 3 of the American League Division Series on Wednesday at Kauffman Stadium against the Kansas City Royals. Dominguez hasn't started a single game in the ALDS to this point despite getting some decent run as the team's left fielder to close out the regular season. Alex Verdugo will get the nod in left field again on Wednesday and will hit ninth against Royals right-hander Seth Lugo. Verdugo has had only seven career at-bats against Lugo, but he has three hits against him (one double), one RBI and a strikeout. The 28-year-old has looked good so far in the first two games of the ALDS, going 3-for-7 with an RBI, a walk and two runs scored. Against righties in 429 plate appearances in the regular season, Verdugo hit .235 (92-for-392) with 11 of his 13 home runs. In the nine-hole, he's a deep DFS sleeper on Wednesday.
