The Yankees&rsquo; top prospect is expected to make the Opening Day roster, but his defense in left field is raising concerns.<\/p><p>Dominguez, originally a center fielder, has had issues adjusting to left. Last season, he played 105 innings there and posted a .957 fielding percentage&mdash;well below the league average of .987. The early signs in spring aren&rsquo;t promising.<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Jasson Dominguez loses a ball in the sun <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/rVG5seXPPX\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>pic.twitter.com\/rVG5seXPPX<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Talkin' Yanks (@TalkinYanks) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/TalkinYanks\/status\/1893733788905005144?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>February 23, 2025<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure><p>A recent clip showed him losing a routine fly ball in the sun, fueling doubts about his ability to handle the position. His defensive instincts have been questioned before. <em>&ldquo;His instincts aren&rsquo;t as keen in center field, where his reads and routes leave a lot to be desired, so he profiles better as a corner outfielder with solid-to-plus arm strength,&rdquo;<\/em> a scouting report noted.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Yankees still backing Jasson Dominguez despite defensive struggles<\/h2><p>The Yankees aren&rsquo;t panicking&mdash;yet.<\/p><p><em>&ldquo;There&rsquo;s no reason he shouldn&rsquo;t be able to handle left field,&rdquo;<\/em> manager Aaron Boone told The Athletic&rsquo;s Chris Kirschner.<\/p><p>General manager Brian Cashman remains optimistic. <em>&ldquo;We obviously believe [Dominguez] has a very high ceiling, and he&rsquo;s healthy,&rdquo;<\/em> he told Bryan Hoch of MLB.com.<\/p><p>Dominguez&rsquo;s bat is what&rsquo;s keeping him in the conversation. In 18 major league games last season, he put up a 107 OPS+ with six home runs and 27 strikeouts. In the minors, he slashed .314\/.376\/.504 across three levels and stole 16 bases.<\/p><p>With Juan Soto now a Met, the Yankees have an opening in the outfield. Aaron Judge is expected to move back to right, while Cody Bellinger can play either center or left. If Dominguez cleans up his defense in spring training, he has a shot at locking down the final outfield spot. If not, the Yankees may have to rethink their plans.<\/p><p><strong>Read More:<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/watch-rafael-devers-practices-at-hot-corner-amid-trade-rumors\/\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'> WATCH: Rafael Devers practices at hot corner amid trade rumors<\/a><\/p><p>Image: Imagn Images<\/p>\n<div class=\"mm-layout mm-layout-type-post mm-layout-slot4\">\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dominguez\u2019s left-field struggles raise questions for Yankees.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":22969,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_mux_skip_reasons":[],"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[3825],"class_list":["post-22966","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-mlb","tag-jasson-dominguez"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.8 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Jasson Dominguez&rsquo;s defensive struggles in left field raise concerns for Yankees - The Playoffs<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Jasson Dominguez&#039;s defense in left field is under scrutiny, but the Yankees remain hopeful.
