There's something about watching a young player play the game of baseball. Especially when it's a prized prospect.
Jasson Dominguez is only 20 years old. He was elevated to Triple-A Wilkes-Barre Scranton after finally rounding into form at Somerset. After only playing nine games with instant success, the center fielder found himself in Yankee pinstripes.
In his major league debut, he homered off future Hall Of Famer Justin Verlander in his first at bat. It doesn't get much better than that. Dominguez hit two homers to help the Yankees sweep the Astros.
How's he done since? He hit safely in his first five games highlighted by his first Yankee Stadium home run. He also recorded his first three hit game against the Tigers. It's only a small sample size but there's a lot to like about Dominguez.
After going down swinging in the first inning tonight against Milwaukee, he came up and hit a line drive home run to right field on a 2-2 pitch. It was exciting how the ball jumped off the bat. Here's how it looked and sounded.
