He's got power, bat speed and strike zone discipline. He's had that really from a young age, the ability to understand the strike zone,” “We even saw that in Spring Training; you just saw a lot of real quality at-bats. So he has all the physical and raw tools you need, coupled with the DNA to control the strike zone. Now it's a matter of, can you take that to the highest level in the land and do it consistently there? That's what we'll start to see.”here is no set plan for Domínguez’s playing time, adding, “He'll play a lot; all these young guys are going to play a lot. We'll just day by day see what matchups are and who's available and all that, but he's going to play a lot.” Expect to see Domínguez in the lineup more often than not as the Yankees attempt to evaluate if they see Domínguez developing into their starting centerfielder for the 2024 season.
