The New York Yankees are known to have one of the best – if not the best – farm systems in baseball. They are loaded with young talent which is why they were able to bring up so many players from triple-A last year and still be successful. These two prospects in the New York Yankees’ system have bright futures ahead of them and the front office and fans need to keep a close watch on them.
Jasson Dominguez
One of the most hyped-up young players in all of baseball, Jasson Dominguez has already been compared to MLB stars like Mike Trout and Bo Jackson. His scout numbers are already comparable to some of the premier players in the Major Leagues.
“We watched him hit and he looked good,” said Yankees’ coach Carlos Mendoza. “He was impressive for being 16 years old. He’s a strong kid with great bat speed and power. We only saw him take BP, but he was hitting balls with Gary and Miggy. He looks like one of them. For that age, he’s pretty advanced.”
Anthony Volpe
After being selected in the first round of the 2019 draft with the 30th pick, Anthony Volpe ended his first professional year batting .215 with two home runs and 26 hits in 34 games. Volpe was limited during his first pro year after being diagnosed with mono.
Volpe has an above-average bat and can make plays effortlessly at shortstop. However, he may be moved around in the infield because of the Yankees’ infield depth. Volpe has said he’s looking forward to his first fully healthy season this year and thinks he can significantly boost his numbers.
