"Dominguez pitched to a very nice .230 batting average against in high leverage situations last year, allowing just one home run while racking up 29 strikeouts and eight walks in 83 high leverage plate appearances. He also held hitters to a .186 batting average against with runners in scoring position with 30 strikeouts in 85 plate appearances. However, the frustrations with Dominguez lied in his control."
"The strikeouts were great but they also came with his fare share of walks. Hitters got on base at a .314 clip in 2025 thanks in part to his 36 walks. In his seven year career, Dominguez has walked 135 batters in 306 innings pitched for a 4.0 BB/9 rate. While that feels higher than you'd like to see out of a backend bullpen arm, he can make up for it with his 10.6 SO/9 rate."
Seranthony Domínguez signed a two-year, $20 million contract with the Chicago White Sox after a brief stint with the Toronto Blue Jays following a midseason trade from the Baltimore Orioles. The 31-year-old right-handed reliever projects to handle backend and high-leverage innings. He posted a .230 batting average against in high-leverage situations in 2025 with one home run, 29 strikeouts and eight walks in 83 plate appearances, and a .186 average with runners in scoring position. Control remains a concern: hitters reached base at a .314 clip in 2025 partly due to 36 walks; career rate is 4.0 BB/9 versus 10.6 SO/9.
