The Yankees got a taste of what Jasson Dominguez, and Austin Wells, were capable of this spring. Now they’ll get a real look at their touted prospects.
DETROIT — The Yankees got a taste of what Jasson Dominguez, and to a lesser extent Austin Wells, were capable of this spring. It will only be for a September in which the Yankees are all but out of the playoff race,“It’s gonna be fun,” Aaron Judge said Thursday at Comerica Park, 4-3 in 10 innings. “I’m excited for both those guys. Getting a chance to meet Austin a little bit and talk with him has been great. Same with Dominguez.
“He showed everything this spring that you got to see why people are excited about him,” manager Aaron Boone said. “You get to see the raw tools. He’s a young player that will obviously come with a lot of expectation, a lot of probably unfair expectations. But you certainly see the reason why a lot of us think he’s got a chance to be a really good player.
“He has all the physical and raw tools you need, coupled with the DNA to control the strike zone,” Boone said. “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.” But his best friend in the Yankees’ clubhouse knows what he is capable of.
Though Wells had plenty of questions, including what he needed to wear, Volpe was happy to answer them. It remains to be seen how the Yankees will use Wells, especially since his promotion as a catcher comes with the added challenge of having to learn a pitching staff.
