Jasson Dominguez, who just started his professional career less than one month ago, was on center stage at the All-Star Futures Game in Denver on Sunday afternoon.
Dominguez, 18, signed with the Yankees out of the Dominican Republic two years ago for a record $5.1 million bonus.
His appearance in the All-Star Futures game was unprecedented. He became the first player to ever participate in this game without a full minor-league season on his resume.
The 5-foot-10, 190-pound switch-hitter has a .200/.407/.200 slash line in seven games (27 plate appearances) for the Rookie-level Yankees in the Florida Complex League.
