Scouts dive deep into Yankees’ Jasson Dominguez’s big-league readiness
NY Post
ARLINGTON, Texas — By now, it has become clear that the Yankees believe sticking with Alex Verdugo in left field is their best option down the stretch.
That means Jasson Dominguez will continue waiting in the wings at Triple-A while racking up more at-bats and reps in the outfield during a season in which he has missed time rehabbing from Tommy John surgery and then suffering an oblique strain.
But is the top prospect ready for a return to the big leagues if and when he is called upon?
“He was a different guy on the field than everybody else,” an AL scout who saw Dominguez play recently at Triple-A said on Tuesday. “He looked like he was ready. I think in the Yankees lineup, he’s probably a six or seven-hole kind of guy right now. … He’s got whack, he can run. He brings a lot of things to the table.
“I didn’t see anything that stood out that would say, ‘He needs more time here.’ ”
An NL scout who also saw Dominguez play for Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre last month said the switch-hitting 21-year-old “looked surprisingly good for somebody who’s missed all the time that he’s missed.”
