The New York Yankees have an outfield surplus with two people caught directly in the middle: former top prospect Jasson Dominguez and 6-foot-7 Spencer Jones, who has flippantly been referred to as a left-handed Aaron Judge.
The two’s respective Yankees stories could not be more different. New York drafted Jones 25th overall out of Vanderbilt in 2022. Dominguez, meanwhile, was a highly-hyped “bonus baby” after signing with the Yankees as a baby-faced 16-year-old in 2019 and receiving a record $5.1 million.
And sure enough, Dominguez’s MLB debut came a shade over a year after the Yankees drafted Jones, and he of course showed up with a bang.
