The Yankees have made their outfield plans clear for the upcoming season, and it revolves around giving Jasson Domínguez a full-time role in left field. According to manager Aaron Boone, the plan is to keep the 21-year-old in one spot rather than moving him around, giving him the opportunity to adjust and develop at a natural pace.
This decision isn’t without risk. Domínguez, despite his tantalizing potential, has limited big-league experience. Over 26 major league games, he hit .207/.310/.437 with six home runs and 11 RBIs. He flashed raw power and an ability to work deep counts, but the consistency wasn’t quite there yet.
