At just 19 years of age, this is great news for any Yankees fan as he seems to be adjusting to professional baseball rather quickly. The single-A season has concluded, and getting some at-bats at the double-A level to end the season is a huge bonus for his development.

At this rate, Dominguez could be knocking on the door for a callup to the big leagues.

Dominguez is flying through the minor league systems at the age of 19. It took just 172 games to earn a promotion to double-A.

The callup had one fan extremely excited.

For any player advancing to a higher level of competition, it is critical to make adjustments, and it will be exciting to see how Dominguez handles the his new environment.

This is extremely encouraging news for the New York Yankees and fans as Jasson Dominguez continues to excel and improve with each season in the minor leagues.

Jasson Dominguez signed with the Yankees as an amateur free-agent out of the Dominican Republic on July 2, 2019, for $5.1 million. Dominguez has all the tools necessary for the center field position: speed, power, and a strong arm in the outfield.

The switch-hitter made his professional debut in 2021 in low-single-A. The 2021 season proved to be an adjustment period for the top prospect as he posted a .731 OPS in 57 games, though he did show many signs of his potential.

In 2022, his development has been impressive to see as he has improved on his OPS, batting average, and stolen bases in the Florida State League.

His potential still seems to be largely untapped. Seeing what kind of improvements he can make for next season will be exciting to watch unfold. He may very well end up on the Yankees roster sooner rather than later.
