Could the New York Yankees have the next Mike Trout in their farm system?

That’s what MLB.com is suggesting, after breaking down the top hitting prospect for each club. For the Yankees, MLB.com selected outfielder Jasson Dominguez.

One of the most hyped international prospects ever, Dominguez signed for $5.1 million out of the Dominican Republic last July and already has earned comparisons to some of the best athletes in baseball history, including Bo Jackson, Mickey Mantle and Mike Trout. He’s a switch-hitting center fielder with at least plus-plus raw power and 30-30 potential.

Holy cow! Talk about a comp. Mickey Mantle was a three-time American League MVP who played 18 seasons for the Yankees, taking over for Joe DiMaggio and establishing himself as the best switch-hitter of all-time.

Trout, the Los Angeles Angels center fielder and a New Jersey native, is the Mantle of this generation. Only 28 years old, Trout has already played nine seasons, winning AL MVP three times, including 2019.

Bo Jackson was on his way to having a Hall-of-Fame career for the Kansas City Royals before a debilitating hip injury cut short his career.

As for Dominguez, MLB Pipeline ranked the Dominican Republic native the Yankees’ No. 1 overall prospect. Here’s a portion of MLB Pipeline’s scouting report on Dominguez:

While Dominguez has yet to prove himself against anything resembling big league pitching, he’s equipped to do a lot of damage. He’s a switch-hitter with easy bat speed and plenty of strength packed in his 5-foot-10 frame. He has a smooth swing from both sides of the plate as well as an advanced feel for hitting and a mature approach.

Dominguez also has huge upside out of the batter’s box. He’s a well above-average runner who could be a 30-30 threat while manning center field. With a strong arm and quick feet, he’s suited to play almost anywhere on the diamond and some clubs even worked him out as a catcher, though that position would sap some of his offensive production.
