New York Yankees manager Aaron Boone is managing young left fielder Jasson Dominguez's development carefully, choosing to replace him defensively late in games. At 22, Dominguez has made a significant impact offensively, hitting his first home run in a recent game. Despite this, Boone emphasizes the importance of improving his defense, even if it means missing out on Dominguez's batting in clutch situations. This decision reflects Boone's commitment to Dominguez's long-term growth as a dependable player.
Dominguez's bat projects to be a significant difference-maker in the majors. He has seven home runs in his first 98 MLB at-bats.
It's an important part of the process in making sure that Jasson continues to develop in the best possible way, Boone said.
I'm putting Trent Grisham in for him, too, who's a really good player, and I feel like is playing at a really high level right now.
This is a scenario that could happen again, but Dominguez's questionable defense that is still very much a work in progress is of a greater priority for Boone.
