Checking in on Yankees mega-prospect Jasson Dominguez entering 2023

Otherworldly, the Martian, the next Mickey Mantle or simply Mike Trout: These are the designations that were broadcast across the baseball world about Jasson Dominguez when he inked a franchise-record international contract with the Yankees.

In 2019, the Bombers signed Dominguez — who was arguably the highest-touted international prospect in MLB history — to a contract with a $5.1 million signing bonus. Talent evaluators across the baseball industry were bullish on the eye-popping tools of the Dominican native with rankings as high as the No. 32 prospect in the game — according to MLB Pipeline — without even stepping foot on a minor-league diamond.
