Four of the nine Yankees in the starting lineup in Saturday’s 7-0 loss to the A’s were homegrown, as was starting pitcher Clarke Schmidt.

The day is coming fast when nearly the entire batting order could be players who first signed with the Yankees. In 2026, the Yankees could welcome in a new wave of Baby Bombers.

How does an outfield of Aaron Judge, Spencer Jones and Jasson Dominguez sound? And an infield of Ben Rice at first base, Jazz Chisholm Jr. at second (his best position), Anthony Volpe at shortstop and George Lombard Jr. at third, with Austin Wells behind the plate.

Chisholm and primary designated hitter Giancarlo Stanton would be the only regular Yankees hitters who aren’t products of the farm system.

It rarely happens that prospects develop at the same speed and arrive at the same time. Baseball is hard when you make the jump from one minor-league level to another and even more difficult for the giant leap to the majors.

But it’s possible, and two developments this past week made it something for Yankees fans to realistically dream about.

Dominguez had his first career four-hit game on Wednesday in Cincinnati. (That he wasn’t in the lineup for the Yankees’ next game on Friday was an “are you kidding me?” moment, but let’s put that aside for now.)

The other was the promotion of top prospect Jones from Double-A to Triple-A. The lefthanded-hitting centerfielder is 6-7, 240, and has prodigious power, so the comparisons to Judge are natural.

In his first Triple-A at-bat, Jones, 24, homered over the 408-foot sign in centerfield at Scranton/Wilkes-Barre’s stadium. He also has A-plus speed but has been a strikeout machine in the minors. If he ever cuts that down, watch out.

“He’s having a good season,” manager Aaron Boone said. “Obviously, the size stands out. The athleticism, the speed and power really stands out. Obviously, still a work in progress.”

Lombard turned 20 on June 2. Less than a month earlier, he was promoted to Double-A, where he struggled at first. Going into Saturday, he was batting .215 after hitting .329 in Class A. He has been playing mostly shortstop and dabbling at second and third.

Anyone who saw Lombard play in big-league spring training knows it’s just a matter of time before the Alex Rodriguez comp (both are from Miami and both are tall, cool and confident infielders) breaks into the bigs.

Could it be next year? Lombard’s growth will determine his arrival date.

When  these two are ready, the Yankees will make room for them. As much as fans love homegrown players, multiply that for the executives who drafted them and nurtured them through their growing pains.

Take the case of Dominguez. Still just a raw 22-year-old, the switch hitter is batting .250 with six home runs, a .732 OPS and a Yankees-high 12 stolen bases after going 0-for-3 with three strikeouts on Saturday.

The legitimate knocks against “The Martian” were that he is an adventure in leftfield and can’t hit righthanded. For the most part, both of those aspects of his game are coming around, although he still can be unintentionally entertaining in the outfield, such as when he nearly ran over Cody Bellinger  as the two converged for a routine ball that Bellinger caught before jumping over him.

Dominguez started the season 3-for-36 against lefties, but since then, he is 11-for-36 (.306), including a pair of strikeouts on Saturday against A’s lefthander JP Sears.

Of Dominguez, Boone said this past week: “He hasn’t lit the world on fire yet. But I think we would all acknowledge he gives you good at-bats every day he’s in there. You see the real speed and athleticism. I feel like he’s doing a good job in the running game, too. And I’m really excited about his growth in leftfield.

“I still maintain the right side, he’ll get there. It’s an experience/rep thing. He controls the zone equally from the right side. I just think it’s reps, experience. When it boils down to it, it’s his natural side. That said, I think he’s been very good lefthanded. He’s a young player still that’s inexperienced and has very much held his own.”

Said Chisholm: “He seems very confident out there now. I feel like from now on, you’re going to see a different part of The Martian. He’s going to be a big-league player for the rest of his life, and he’s only, what, 22? I think he’s special.”

Dominguez is  a rookie. Wells, 25, finished third in the AL Rookie of the Year voting last season. Rice, 26, is in his first full season, Volpe his third at age 24. Chisholm is 27. Judge is the graybeard at 33.

Saturday’s game was a pretty low-energy one for the Yankees, who had only three hits. Not one for the time capsule. It was a good day to dream about the future.
