The New York Yankees are expecting this top prospect to have a major impact next season.<\/p>\n

Jasson Dominguez has carried sky-high expectations since signing a $5.1 million international free-agent contract with the Yankees in July 2019 at age 16.<\/p>\n

Dominguez started in Rookie Ball in 2021 and quickly rose through the ranks. Nicknamed \u201cThe Martian,\u201d he hit 47 home runs, 62 doubles, and 12 triples across 353 minor-league games, posting an .816 OPS.<\/p>\n

The young prospect made his Yankees debut in September 2023, smacking four home runs in eight games. However, Dominguez\u2019s first taste of the big leagues ended quickly when he had to undergo Tommy John surgery.<\/p>\n

He was set to return in 2024, but an oblique strain set him back, limiting him to 44 games in Triple-A before his September call-up. In 18 major-league games, Dominguez hit just two home runs, struck out 19 times, and posted a .617 OPS. He appeared in three playoff games but didn\u2019t register a plate appearance.<\/p>\n

Yankees fans had hoped Dominguez would replace struggling left fielder Alex Verdugo, but defensive concerns prevented that move.<\/p>\n

New York Yankees\u2019 Aaron Boone loves Jasson Dominguez\u2019s talent<\/h2>\n

With a healthy Dominguez heading into 2025, Yankees manager Aaron Boone appears ready to pencil him into the lineup.<\/p>\n

\u2014 YES Network (@YESNetwork) November 11, 2024<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

In an interview with the New York Post, Boone said Dominguez will be \u201ca big part of things moving forward.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m in that camp of people that think he\u2019s going to be a great big league player,\u201d Boone said this week. \u201cI love his makeup. I love his talent.<\/p>\n

\u201c\u2026 Always know as a young player, you\u2019re working to earn those things and earn those opportunities. I fully expect him to be a big part of what we do this coming year \u2014 whether it\u2019s center or left remains to be seen. It depends how our offseason shakes out.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Yankees\u2019 outfield configuration for 2025 largely depends on whether Juan Soto returns to the Bronx. If Soto does return, the Yankees could field a potent outfield featuring Dominguez, Soto, and likely American League MVP Aaron Judge.<\/p>\n
