New York Yankees teen Jasson Domínguez is among the most enjoyable prospects ever to come back by way of the workforce’s system. Since he signed with the Bombers as a 16-year-old in 2019, the Martian has been identified for his power-hitting potential from each side of the plate. Nevertheless, his outfield protection have to be addressed.
When Domínguez got here up late within the season final 12 months, he was shaky at best as a defender. Followers hoped he may repair that a part of his sport within the offseason, however he hasn’t.
The highest of the fifth inning on Sunday was practically a catastrophe, due to Domínguez’s protection. He nearly dropped a routine fly ball for the second out of the inning. The ball bounced round his mitt as he one-handed it, catching it too low and off to 1 facet, not locking it into the glove or utilizing his throwing hand to safe it.
Then, he let what gave the impression to be a catchable line drive bounce in entrance of him, knocking starter Marcus Stroman — clearly and justifiably pissed off concerning the play — out of the sport. The 22-year-old practically let the ball get previous him, however a fortuitous hop saved it earlier than him and held the runner on first base.
