Yankees top prospect Jasson Dominguez absolutely cleaned up the accolades in Baseball America’s latest update to their rankings.

Want to smile, Yankees fans? Just take a look at how many honors Baseball America bestowed upon the team’s top prospect, Jasson Dominguez, in their latest update to their franchise rankings.

Dominguez, who is still 17 years old and has never played in an official game with the organization (thanks, 2020!), has still managed to sprint up the prospect charts like 2009 Brett Gardner sniffing an inside-the-park homer.

And though we’re going to have to wait a little while for his official debut in pinstripes, we can still read these new BA scouting reports and absolutely dream on his ridiculous future.

Just look at all these accolades.

We’ve been waiting for Dominguez to be the team’s official No. 1 prospect for a while, but this well-informed list proves the teenager (teenager!) can simply do it all.

Hit for power? Well, obviously. He’s built like a human Dodge Durango. But fastest baserunner and best outfield arm? Come on now. Better than we could’ve imagined in our wildest dreams.

We’re talking Aaron Hicks with Aaron Judge’s power. We’re talking a pre-college Mike Trout. I mean, if these reports end up manifesting themselves, we really do have an unparalleled superstar waiting in the wings.

Perhaps now’s the time to show you what Dominguez looks like in uniform? And keep in mind he’s bulked up significantly since then.

Yeah, the expectations are high for a reason.

Frankly, it feels extra good to see Baseball America validate the whole damn thing, even after a year without a single plate appearance by this coronated prospect.

Nobody knows when he’ll arrive in the Bronx to fill a vacancy that doesn’t exist (plenty of outfielders at the big league level!), but whether it’s two or three years from now (20 years old, just insane!), it’s clear that Yankees fans have an overload of talent to look forward to.

Keep lugging those tires around, young king.
