The New York Yankees have a ton of highly-anticipated prospects in their farm system. No one may be more special than Jasson Dominguez. Fans are ready for him to make his debut.
Fans may see him sooner rather than later if he plays as he did in Saturday's Spring Training game against the Philadelphia Phillies. He hit an absolute no-doubt home run in the fifth inning off relief pitcher Ben Bowden.
Dominguez was sitting fastball and got exactly that on the first pitch. It's not a bad swing for the youngest player in the Yankees' camp. He just turned 20 in early February.
Dominguez plays center field and has an excellent glove and arm to complement his offense. Don't be surprised if this is the year he gets his call-up.
Here's how fans on social media reacted to Dominguez's home run.
New York Yankees fans are excited about the future of the club. Dominguez, Anthony Volpe, and Oswaldo Peraza are all big-time prospects.
Fans have high expectations for the team this season. After an early exit from the postseason, they're ready to see this team make a deep run.
The New York Yankees may look at their prospects for help this season
The New York Yankees will be without starting pitcher Frankie Montas for some time this season. The righty underwent shoulder surgery last week and isn't expected to return until at least August.
This leaves some question marks around the starting rotation heading into the season. Currently, the Yankees have Gerrit Cole, Carlos Rodon, Luis Severino, Domingo German, and Clarke Schmidt. It's a capable rotation, but the team can't expect all of them to stay healthy for the entire season.
They have a ton of pitching prospects in their system. Luis Gil has the most experience, but he ended his season in May last year after undergoing Tommy John surgery. Likely, he won't return to action until June.
One pitching prospect fans should keep an eye on is Will Warren. He's a young arm that many around the league believe has a ton of upside. He could be one of the prospects called up during the year. It wouldn't be surprising if the team called him up for a bullpen role at some point.
