Dominguez could bat leadoff in 2025, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.
Per Hoch, manager Aaron Boone said he believes Dominguez's skill set fits well atop the lineup, pointing to his blend of on-base ability, power and solid base-running skills. Nothing has been decided yet, but it shouldn't be assumed Anthony Volpe will bat leadoff after a second consecutive season with an OBP below .300 in 2024. Hoch also notes the Yankees would prefer to have Cody Bellinger and Jazz Chisholm in a position to drive in runs, but he adds they could be options to lead off if neither Dominguez nor Volpe earns the honor.
