Breaking: Yankees’ Top Prospect Takes Center Stage: Top Prospect to Start in Outfield, Giving Team a New Dimension
The New York Yankees have a vacant outfield slot that may have Jasson Dominguez’s name all over it.
Yankees’ Jasson Dominguez in line to start in OF in 2025
Dominguez has been one of the Yankees’ top two prospects for the last two seasons running. New York’s fan base and pundits alike have been salivating at the thought of having him man a full-time position on the big league roster for quite some time.
The 2025 MLB campaign is likely to berth those hopes. According to MLB.com’s Bryan Hoch, Yankees general manager Brian Cashman had this to say about the Dominican slugger:
“Brian Cashman on Jasson Dominguez: ‘I’d like to see him get his shot now.’”
Dominguez’s limited play has shown flashes of brilliance
Dominguez played eight games for the Yankees in 2023 before getting a chance to close out New York’s 2024 slate with 18 games played from Aug. 18 onward. He was scintillating in the former, with six runs, four home runs, and 7 RBIs along with a .980 OPS. Last season, the 21-year-old tapered off with two homers and four RBIs alongside a .617 OPS, though he did score eight runs.
