Slow going
Aaron Judge (sore right shoulder) continued to hit and throw on Monday, as the outfielder tossed at a distance of 90 feet and took swings at soft-toss and off a tee indoors. Boone said there is no set date for Judge to appear in a Grapefruit League game.
“We'll kind of take it slow just because of where we are on the calendar, but he's doing well,” Boone said.
My favorite 'Martian'
During an offseason visit to the Dominican Republic, Boone had the opportunity to watch wunderkind prospect Jasson Dominguez take batting practice. Nicknamed “The Martian,” the teenage switch-hitter held his own in a group that also included Miguel Andújar and Gary Sánchez.
“You see this nice kid that's humble and has a little bit of a presence to him,” Boone said. “He hit out on the field with Miggy and Gary that day, and you do lose sight of the fact that he's [17] years old. He looks the part. Obviously he's got a long way to go and I don't want to get ahead of ourselves, but he's physically so impressive at such a young age.”
