Maturity, work ethic are just important as tools for Dominguez

Jasson Dominguez celebrated his 18th birthday on Feb. 7 with his family in the Dominican Republic.

Less than 24 hours later, the center fielder was on a plane headed back to the United States.

It was time for the Yankees’ top prospect to get back to work.

I was really excited for my first year as a pro and I still feel that hype for Opening Day,” Dominguez said. “I’m tired of waiting. I’m desperate to get out there already.”
