Yankees top prospect billing for Jasson Dominguez adds undue pressure

Recently, Baseball America and MLB Pipeline have ranked Jasson Dominguez as the Yankees top prospect. Both publications, which annually release their list of the top 100 prospects in baseball, place Dominguez, aka The Martian, as the No. 38 and 54 overall prospect, respectively.

Equated not only to a teenage Mike Trout but drawing athletic comparisons to Bo Jackson and even Mickey Mantle by MLB.com, Dominguez won’t turn 17 until February 7.

Aside from some impressive video’s of Dominguez smashing BP fastballs from both sides of the plate, all we have to go on is the grades that these prospect-heavy outlets cover — and scouting reports against amateur competition.
