Latest Top 100 prospect lists offer industry insight on Yankees’ farm system.
All the major prospects lists are out there, and with spring training getting underway, it’s the ideal time to look at how industry evaluators see the Yankees’ farm system. Hopefully, we’ll learn a thing or two about the outlook of the future cornerstones of this team.
When discussing Yankees prospects these days, the conversation revolves around two high-profile hitters, Spencer Jones and Jasson Domínguez. Everything from the differences between them, any potential similarities, and inevitably, the preferences of each evaluator. For the purposes of this article, we’ll take a look at the Yankees in the Top 100 of five different lists, each with its unique perspective.

Before getting into specifics, a few details to point out. As a whole, ESPN has the most favorable list for the Yankees, including five different prospects, while ZiPS, MLB Pipeline, and The Athletic all come in with three apiece. Interestingly enough, the consensus is minimal among those three, with only Domínguez being present in as many as two of them.
It’s astonishing to take a step back and focus on the career arc of Jasson Domínguez, and how his stock finds himself in a weird place right now. Domínguez burst onto the scene with hype reserved for the one percent of the one-percenters. The man was touted as the next big thing. Fast-forward a few years and despite producing at virtually every turn, Domínguez finds himself in a wide range of spots on lists, from the 21st overall according to The Athletic and ESPN to outside the top 50 with FanGraphs. Domínguez held his own at every level despite being much younger than the competition and earned a call-up to the bigs last year, after putting up a 118 wRC+ in AA.
