Struggling Jasson Dominguez picks up two hits in Yankees’ win
NY Post
The Yankees handed Jasson Domínguez the starting left field job this spring, and so far, the results have been shaky.
The switch-hitter snapped an 0-for-15 skid with a two-run single in Saturday’s 8-4 win over the Giants.
He added an infield single in the seventh, and both hits came from the left side, where Domínguez has been solid throughout his young career.
But he’s almost been a black hole from the right side: 1-for-20 with a double, four walks, seven strikeouts and an OPS of .340 in 25 plate appearances this year.
And the numbers have never been good from that side of the plate.
“I felt this spring, his right-handed swing and move improved and should [continue to] be moving forward,” Aaron Boone said before the game. “I feel like he’s not making some of his best moves right-handed the last couple games. Part of that is facing [Detroit ace lefty Tarik] Skubal and some tough customers. The reality is he can really hit, and that’s my expectation for him.”
Tyrod Taylor knows the perils of being a dual-threat quarterback, and he knows what it’s like for Jaxson Dart to be learning when to take a hit and when to avoid one.
