When the New York Yankees gave Dominican outfielder Jasson Dominguez a $5.1 million signing bonus a couple years ago, the comparisons started flying. Is he Mike Trout? Bo Jackson? Both?
After the pandemic eliminated what could have been his first professional season, Dominguez made his pro debut in the Yankees’ system last year.
And he did okay — he didn’t blow the world away, either. In 241 plate appearances between Rookie ball and Low-A, Dominguez slashed .252/.353/.379 with 15 of his 52 hits going for extra bases. He also stole nine bases and scored 31 runs in 56 total games.
