On May 9, 2025, Jasson Domínguez delivered a performance for the ages, launching three home runs in a single game and becoming the youngest player in New York Yankees history to achieve this feat. At just 22 years and 91 days old, Domínguez surpassed the legendary Joe DiMaggio’s record set in 1937, etching his name into the franchise’s storied history.
Facing the Oakland Athletics at Sutter Health Park in West Sacramento, California, Domínguez showcased his prodigious talent in a 10-2 Yankees victory. His first home run, a solo shot in the third inning, set the tone for the evening. He followed with another solo blast in the seventh and capped off his historic night with a grand slam in the eighth, totaling seven RBIs.
This remarkable achievement not only highlighted Domínguez’s power but also his versatility as a switch-hitter. He became just the third player in MLB history to homer from both sides of the plate in a three-homer game that included a grand slam.
Domínguez’s journey to this milestone has been marked by resilience. After making a sensational debut in 2023 with a home run in his first at-bat, his rookie season was cut short due to a torn ulnar collateral ligament requiring Tommy John surgery. He faced further setbacks in 2024 with an oblique strain but persevered through rehabilitation and minor league assignments.
Manager Aaron Boone praised Domínguez’s performance, stating, “He’s so talented. He just needs to play. It’s the experience with him.”
As Domínguez continues to develop, his historic three-homer game serves as a testament to his potential and the bright future ahead. Yankees fans and baseball enthusiasts alike will be watching closely as “The Martian” continues his ascent in the major leagues.
