TOP PROSPECT SHOWDOWN

Jasson Dominguez Homers Off Jackson Jobe In Battle Of Top MLB Prospects

Were it not for injuries, Yankees top prospect Jasson Dominguez might have already graduated from the prospect world. Instead, he’s busy preparing for what should be his first full-season in the big leagues.

On Thursday, that preparation included a big-time prospect matchup against Tigers righthander Jackson Jobe.

As Josh Norris writes, the high-profile didn’t disappoint, resulting in loud contact and an even louder moment for one of the game’s top slugging prospects.
