Who Is Jasson Dominguez And His Girlfriend? Why do they call Jasso Dominguez the Martian? His Parents, Family, Salary, Jersey, Net Worth
Dominican professional baseball outfielder with the New York Yankees of Major League Baseball (MLB), Jasson Dominguez, also known as El Marciano or the Martian, comes from the Dominican Republic. 2023 saw him make his MLB debut.
According to rankings, Dominguez is the best prospect in the 2019–2020 international class who can sign with an MLB team. On July 2, 2019, he inked a contract with the Yankees, getting a signing bonus that set a franchise record for the team at $5.1 million.
Why do they call Jasso Dominguez the Martian?
Dominguez’s nickname “La Marsano” (“El Marciano” in Spanish) comes from a respected Dominguez fan in his native Dominguez. Someone — it’s not clear who — said Dominguez’s talent was out of this world, which led to the nickname.
The nickname stuck and followed Dominguez since he signed with the Yankees at age 16.
Even Dominguez admits it, as seen in a Reddit user’s post describing an airport encounter with the 20-year-old that went viral after the Yankees called him up.
