  • On paper, the Yankees' 2025 outfield appears set, with Aaron Judge in right, Cody Bellinger in center and Jasson Dominguez in left. However, two Yankees prospects will have the opportunity to take left field from Dominguez come spring training: Spencer Jones and Everson Pereira.

Jasson Dominguez, a highly-touted prospect for the New York Yankees, is set to face competition this spring from two other promising outfielders, Everson Pereira and Spencer Jones. Dominguez, known as "The Martian" for his otherworldly talent, has shown significant potential but has been sidelined by injuries, including a recent Tommy John surgery. Despite his setbacks, his performance in the minors has been impressive, with a .265/.377/.425 slash line in Double-A last season. However, Pereira, who has already made his MLB debut, and Jones, a towering figure with a powerful bat, are also vying for spots. Pereira has demonstrated his capabilities with a .312/.386/.551 line in Triple-A, while Jones, despite his high strikeout rate, offers raw power and speed. The competition among these prospects will be intense as they all aim to secure a role in the Yankees' outfield, potentially influencing the team's lineup decisions for the upcoming season.
