Yankees' Jasson Dominguez still trends as a starter on the left

Lafland, Florida – the standard for Jasson Dominguez, who won the starting job in Linkenfield this spring, was to show the Yankees more or less that he could drive in more runs than he allows.

It was in times when it comes to the latter.

But the reality is that the 22-year-old Dominguez does not start in the left, where he showed a gradual improvement during spring when the season on March 27th opened in the stadium against the brewers.

“I have the feeling that he did a good job,” said Aaron Boone about the tigers on the Publix field before the 8: 6 victory on Thursday. “In fact, there were a few pieces that he has made recently, and also shows the range that you would like to see what is in line with the appearance of his work. I just have to play, just have to have the experience out there. It will be fine. But I think he did a good job last week, especially in 10 days. “

Did Dominguez do enough to be called the starter on the left?

“I would like to think, yes,” said Boone, engaging in a bit of word salad. “But we'll see. We are still two weeks (in the warehouse). Important days for him to get these repetitions and to further gain this experience. But there is no reason in the time that it shouldn't really be really good (out there). “

Dominguez, who had a relatively quiet day on the field on Thursday, had regular problems in the first two weeks of the games, but that has gotten better recently.

“I have the feeling that there was definitely an improvement,” said Dominguez, who met one of the two Homer who were hit by the Yankees on Thursday. “I worked every day and can feel it.”

Boone said: “I think his routes have been good lately. Real direct routes. When he does, you see the speed and it can really save the soil that most people who play out there are not. And that only completes games, only this glove accuracy and everything, and I have the feeling that this further improves. “

In the fourth inning on Thursday, the Switch hitting dominguez bat, which always spoke the most about part of his game, pressed and the reason why the Yankees want to have the outfield in the line-up, the talk about the race in the background. Dominguez hit the left and hammered a change of 0 and 1 by Righty Jackson Jobe Deep to right for his second Homer of spring.

“I don't have to remember,” said Boone with a smile to Dominguez 'offensive skills. “He has this ability because I think he has the ability to control the strike zone with real strength for all places. I think his right swing is getting better. Nice to see that he has such a day. “

Max Fried, who signed Free Agent in December, said he knew from Dominguez when he joined the Yankees, and liked what he saw, both during the games and in the work of the outfield.

“The top prospect, really talented,” said Fried, who allowed a run and a hit over four innings, in which he hit three. “He makes a lot of really loud contact. Every time he swings the bat, it is aggressive, from both sides of the plate. I know that he learns a new position in Leftfield, but you see how he brings work. He wants to be great in it. The work ethic is there. “

Notes & quotes: Although the Yankees did not say it directly, JC Escarra, who has not yet played in the majors, is the camp as the backup catcher of the club (and occasionally ie ie). The 29-year-old added the 40-man squad in the off-season after impressed the Yankees-Sowie competitors in the minor in last season with Double-A Somerset and Triple-A Scranton-Wilkes/Barre. “I think he is very real,” said Boone … Paul Goldschmidt met his third Homer of spring in the fourth inning and crushed a sink with 0 and 1, 97 miles per hour from Jobe 447 feet above the eye of the dough in the middle. The first Baseman met a base double in the fifth to give the Yankees a 6-1 lead. The Yankees have been on a starter on the opening day.
