20-year-old Yankees prospect Jasson Dominguez is making waves with his impressive performance in Triple-A, offering a glimmer of hope for the struggling last-place New York Yankees.

Affectionately called 'El Marciano' due to his extraordinary abilities, this Dominican talent was recently promoted to Triple-A after maintaining his outstanding form from Double-A Somerset. Dominguez's excellence shines through in his seven-game stint with the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders, amassing 11 hits in 23 at-bats for a remarkable .478 batting average.

His contributions also include 10 RBIs, four walks, two doubles, and a triple, totaling 11 bases in less than a week. The potential displayed in this hot streak might earn Dominguez a call-up to the major leagues in September, a move that could infuse fresh energy into the Yankees.
The team has faced a slump, losing 12 of their last 14 games, which could prompt them to bench veterans like center fielder Harrison Bader in favor of promising young talents like Dominguez. Although promoting a 20-year-old might seem premature, the Yankees' confidence in Dominguez was evident when they granted him a $5 million signing bonus at the tender age of 16 in 2019.

While initially facing criticism for not meeting the high expectations of his contract, Dominguez has steadily improved with age and experience. Before his Triple-A promotion, Dominguez had a respectable .263 batting average in Somerset, complemented by an impressive .367 on-base percentage.

His stats boasted 15 home runs, 19 doubles, and a remarkable 37 stolen bases. Dominguez's prowess extends beyond raw athleticism; he's recognized as a five-tool player in the baseball community.

A switch-hitter, he can hit for both power and average, excels as a swift center fielder, and possesses a formidable throwing arm. His ability to draw walks even when not hitting is also commendable, showcasing his disciplined approach at the plate.

According to Somerset hitting coach Jake Hirst, Dominguez's consistency and adept control of the strike zone have been instrumental to his growth. His power-hitting capability from both sides of the plate remains a strength, and many insiders share the sentiment that he has the potential to become a truly exceptional player.

But when it comes to punching power, he says no one hit harder than Justin Gaethje . The two fought at UFC 254 on October 24, 2020. It was Khabib’s last fight before retiring. During the bout, Gaethje landed heavy punches and kicks that Khabib admitted were painful. “He hit like a truck,” Khabib said on Mike Tyson ’s Hotboxin' podcast. “His left hook, right hook, uppercut—they all hurt.

My plan was to tire him out by standing with him, then take him to the ground and finish the fight.” Photo: Khabib Nurmagomedov / Instagram Khabib ended the fight with a triangle choke submission. He explained he chose the move out of respect for Gaethje’s parents, who were watching. “I didn’t want to break his arm in front of his parents,” Khabib said. “So I put him to sleep instead. That’s better.” D...
