Anthony Volpe and Oswald Peraza, both of whom will be competing with Isiah Kiner-Falefa for the Yankees’ starting shortstop job, aren’t the only young players worth paying attention to when the Yankees open spring training next week.
Like Volpe, Jasson Dominguez will be making his debut on the major league side of camp.
Unlike Volpe, Dominguez isn’t expected to be in the mix for a spot on the roster in The Bronx until 2024. Still, the Yankees will get their first look at one of their top prospects against big-league competition.
Dominguez just turned 20 on Tuesday, and though some of the hype has died down regarding the outfielder who was famously dubbed “The Martian” when he signed with the Yankees for a $5.1 million bonus out of the Dominican Republic in July 2019, the switch-hitter impressed at three different levels last season, finishing up at Double-A Somerset.
