You may have heard a thing or two about Jasson Dominguez. The consensus top New York Yankees prospect, the 18-year-old center fielder is slated to turn put in his first full pro season in the low minor leagues. Known as “The Martian” for his other-worldly hitting abilities, Dominguez has been controversially compared to such MLB greats as Mike Trout and Mickey Mantle before even playing a game in the minor league system.
While those comparisons are silly at this stage of his career, they illustrate the amount of hype that Dominguez is coming in with. The Yankees spent more than $5 million of their allotted $5.
