Yankees outfield prospect Jasson Dominguez has already had an MLB debut for the ages, and it’s still only the first inning.

Facing future Hall of Famer Justin Verlander, the switch-hitter known as “The Martian” parked a two-run shot into the Crawford Boxes in Houston.

Much like his teammate Aaron Judge, Jasson Dominguez can now say he started his MLB career in the best way: With a home run. The Yankees lead the Astros 3-0 in the first inning.
