TAMPA \u2014 Aaron Boone said on the first day of camp that \u201cif you can play outfield in the Grapefruit League, you\u2019re in a pretty good spot.\u201d<\/p>\n
Through two games in left field this spring, the scoreboard reads: Grapefruit League 1, Jasson Dom\u00ednguez 1.<\/p>\n
The Yankees are giving Dom\u00ednguez a long runway this spring to make the full-time transition from center field to left field, after his late-season experiment there last year did not go well. <\/p>\n
And while his first game there Friday was uneventful, Sunday was more of a challenge, in part courtesy of the elements.<\/p>\n
Dom\u00ednguez lost a ball in the sun during the Yankees\u2019 4-0 loss to the Tigers at Steinbrenner Field, and an inning later did not give himself the best chance to get to another ball in the gap after taking an inefficient route, though Boone said it would have been a hit either way.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere\u2019s no reason he shouldn\u2019t be able to handle left field,\u201d Boone said after the game. \u201cWe do like what we\u2019ve seen these first couple weeks.\u201d<\/p>\n
Since he arrived in Tampa, Dom\u00ednguez has been working with outfield coach Luis Rojas on getting more comfortable in left field, with the Yankees planning to use Cody Bellinger in center field regularly.<\/p>\n

Boone said Sunday that configuration would be best because on days Trent Grisham comes off the bench to play center field (where he has won a Gold Glove), he doesn\u2019t want to be bouncing Dom\u00ednguez to left, preferring to keep him in one spot.<\/p>\n
For that reason, Boone does not necessarily plan on flip-flopping Dom\u00ednguez and Bellinger on occasion this spring.<\/p>\n
\u201cI want to give it a full runway of [Dom\u00ednguez] doing all his work,\u201d Boone said. \u201cIf I have to make a decision late \u2014 because I\u2019m not worried about moving Belly at any given moment. I don\u2019t want to do that as much with Jasson.\u201d<\/p>\n
Instead, the Yankees want to keep running Dom\u00ednguez out there in left field, sunny afternoon skies and windy conditions be damned.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe\u2019s been working really hard,\u201d Rojas said. \u201cWe\u2019ve been trying to simulate a lot of the things that you\u2019re gonna get, especially in spring training. There\u2019s a lot of different things here: You get the Florida wind, you get the Florida high skies, you get the Florida sun. There\u2019s just a lot of factors that are thrown at you right away and we tried to simulate that for the last two or three weeks knowing he\u2019s going to get it. Today he got the sun.\u201d<\/p>\n
Dom\u00ednguez\u2019s third inning began by snagging a sinking line drive off the bat of Hao-Yu Lee before Cole Keith skied the ball to left that Dom\u00ednguez lost in the sun. <\/p>\n
He did make a quick recovery after the ball dropped, finding it and firing to Anthony Volpe, who threw to the plate to nail a runner trying to score.<\/p>\n
In the fourth inning, Jace Jung hit a ball to the gap in left-center field that had an expected batting average of .740. <\/p>\n
Dom\u00ednguez had a long way to run before it dropped a few feet behind him, but Rojas noticed some teaching points on the play.<\/p>\n
\u201cWatching it live, it seemed like he got away from his running form a little bit towards the end,\u201d Rojas said. \u201cHe was hanging his glove and some of the things we talk about that can probably take a step or two getting closer to a ball \u2014 I don\u2019t know what was the catch probability on that, but it\u2019s definitely something we\u2019re going to break down and talk about. We intend to do that, whether he makes a play or not, to keep learning the position. \u2026 He\u2019s got great tools and we really think he\u2019s going to be successful at the position.\u201d<\/p>\n
His teammates think so, too.<\/p>\n
\u201cHis attention to detail is continuing to mature based off me catching glimpses of him through his work here and there,\u201d Gerrit Cole said. \u201cHe\u2019s maturing and getting better. The fact that he\u2019s unwavering in his approach through a lot of what he\u2019s been through, that\u2019s what has me feeling confident.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
