See It: Yankees’ Jasson Dominguez launches homer in first MLB at-bat

On a Friday night showdown between the New York Yankees and the Houston Astros, all eyes were fixed on one individual: top prospect Jasson Dominguez making his MLB debut.

Having been recently elevated from Double-A Somerset to Triple-A, Dominguez played only nine games before receiving the call to join the big leagues. During this brief stint, his stats were nothing short of impressive: a .419 batting average, .514 OBP, and .581 slugging rate. Not to mention, he clocked 10 homers, a 16.2% walk rate, an 8.1% strikeout rate, and a remarkable 179 wRC+.
