Manager Aaron Boone expressed optimism that the young outfielder can still thrive as a switch-hitter, reflecting a belief shared by General Manager Brian Cashman and the coaching staff. The Yankees view the progress Dominguez has made, guided by hitting coach Luis Rojas, as a key part of their development plan heading into 2026.<\/p>\n<p>New York Daily News reporter Gary Phillips took to X (formerly known as Twitter) to share what Boone and Cashman had to say regarding Dom\u00ednguez\u2019s offseason work and the organization\u2019s coordinated approach with his winter league club.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAaron Boone said he got good reports on Jasson Dom\u00ednguez out of winter ball, and Brian Cashman said that the #Yankees&#8217; hitting coaches Luis Rojas gave The Martian \u2018a whole checklist\u2019 of things to work on. They coordinated with Escogido as well.<\/p>\n<p>Boone &amp; Cashman both think Dom\u00ednguez can still be a switch-hitter; they feel he can improve from the right side with more reps.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Dominguez, who will be 23-years-old when the 2026 season begins, is currently playing winter ball for Leones del Escogido in the Dominican Republic. The Yankees have worked closely with the team to ensure the checklist developed by Rojas is followed closely, emphasizing specific drills and repetition from the right side of the plate.<\/p>\n<p>Boone noted that early feedback from winter ball has been encouraging, particularly regarding the left fielder\u2019s ability to make adjustments in live competition. Cashman echoed that sentiment, highlighting the organization\u2019s confidence that additional volume and consistency will unlock more balance in his switch-hitting profile.<\/p>\n<p>Across his first three seasons with the Yankees, Dominguez has posted a .248 average with 16 home runs and 58 RBIs. Should his winter ball progress hold through camp, he could enter 2026 as a more complete hitter on both sides of the plate.<\/p>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New York Yankees manager Aaron Boone shares optimism for Jasson Dominguez\u2019s switch-hitting future and off-season progress.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":129567,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[307,308,886,44,40],"class_list":["post-129566","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-mlb","tag-aaron-boone","tag-brian-cashman","tag-jasson-dominguez","tag-mlb","tag-new-york-yankees"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>\ud83c\udfaf EXCLUSIVE UPDATE: Aaron Boone\u2019s Unwavering Faith in Jasson Dominguez\u2019s Switch-Hitting Potential!
