The Yankees know there is excitement surrounding Anthony Volpe and Jasson Dominguez, who will enter the season ranked as the organization’s top two prospects by MLB Pipeline. That buzz also brings expectations, but the club believes they can help the promising young players reach their potential.
According to Kevin Reese, the Yankees’ vice president of player development, Volpe and Dominguez are apprised of the challenges ahead on their respective paths toward the Bronx. So far, Reese said, Volpe and Dominguez have shown themselves to be beyond their years.
“You want these guys to succeed; you want these guys to have fun and not have to deal with unnecessary stresses,” Reese said. “I think everybody reads the articles. Everybody reads social media, knows what the hype is and what’s expected. That’s always a challenge for everybody to deal with. It’s something we try to be open, to talk about with them and try to help them manage.”
