Physical Description: Dominguez is built like a monster athlete. With broad shoulders, high muscle mass, and powerful legs, he is everything you could possibly want out of a guy of his frame. It is worth noting that the mobility of muscles will eventually go down as he ages, and the continual addition of muscle could slow him down over time, while adding raw power.
Hit: Dominguez is a switch hitter, which is already an asset to begin with. While the swing is geared towards generating power, Dominguez possesses near elite bat speed and strong hands. These two traits coupled with the fact that he gets his bat into the hitting zone early via a vertical bat orientation post load gives Dominguez an above-average ceiling in the hit department. Grade: 55
Power: Dominguez's swings on both sides of the plate are geared towards generating max power. The bat speed, along with the big load (leg kick), and larger stride give him more momentum moving forward. The plus separation plays elite due to the way in which he loads his hands -- they stay in line horizontally, without much vertical ride up towards the head (think Robinson Cano hand load with a more vertical bat orientation). These traits all suggest high power, and after taking one glance at Dominguez's extremely built frame, it is clear to see that he will be able to produce plus power numbers in the future. Grade: 60
Field: Dominguez's plus speed allows him to get around the outfield with ease, making plays that many cannot. He is an above-average center fielder, and could be optimized to play any of the three outfield positions. If he remains as muscle bound as his current state, he may shift to left later on in his career. Grade: 55
Arm: Dominguez showcases a strong arm from the outfield. The fact that he was tried out as a catcher by some is a massive justification for his pure arm strength. While it is not exactly double-plus, it plays plus and is a major asset for Dominguez defensively. Grade: 60
Run: Dominguez is a plus to double-plus runner. He showcases enough speed to probably be a candidate for 25-30 steals in a given season, though this is contingent upon his ability to stay flexible throughout his career. If he holds onto it, he could be a 30-30 candidate; if he adds excess muscle however, the steal numbers, and range in the outfield will likely diminish significantly. Grade: 60
Overall: Dominguez has five nearly plus tools, and with proper development could be a superstar candidate at the big league level. As an evaluator it is worth mentioning that his strength and conditioning program will be critical in the determination of the player he will become -- he is already extremely muscular, and the addition of further mass could be detrimental to his flexibility (arm whip, speed, etc). With more power (assuming proper pd), he could be a 40hr candidate, though he is probably best optimized as a five tool player.
