The New York Yankees woke up offensively against the Washington Nationals, and Jasson Dominguez quietly played a significant role.
While stars like Giancarlo Stanton command headlines, the 22-year-old outfielder is beginning to show the upside everyone envisioned.
Over the past two weeks, Dominguez is hitting .310/.333/.448 with a home run and eight runs batted in.
That recent surge has been a bright spot, offering a glimpse at what his bat could mean long term for New York.
A steady rookie season with room to grow
On the season, Dominguez owns a .258/.330/.393 slash line with 10 home runs, 45 RBIs, and 21 stolen bases.
That production has translated to a 103 wRC+, which places him slightly above average despite some inconsistency.
For a young hitter, that’s an encouraging benchmark
