This was the type of game that Yankees fans have been waiting for from The Martian.
Jasson Dominguez looked just as advertised on Tuesday as he collected three knocks -- falling a triple shy of cycle -- while driving in a career-high four runs in Single-A Tampa's 12-11 defeat to Dunedin at TD Ballpark.
The third-ranked Yankees prospect flashed all five of his tools that made him one of the most hyped international signings in recent memory -- crushing a solo shot to the deepest part of the park, hammering a two-run double to left and even notching a productive out with an RBI groundout to second in the eighth after a seven-pitch at-bat.
It's the third multihit game for Dominguez over his last four contests and the first three-knock effort of his season. The 19-year-old has reached base safely in his last seven games and recorded a hit in six of those. Over eight games in May, Dominguez raised his batting average 36 points to .252.
Against the Blue Jays, Baseball's No. 59 overall prospect lined a single to right in the opening frame and came around to score three batters later on a three-run blast by Marcos Cabrera. In the following inning, Dominguez delivered a two-out laser to left that scored a pair for Tampa as he motored into second for his eighth double of the year.
The Martian wasn't done yet as he flexed his 60-grade power tool in the fourth with a monster shot to the deepest part of the park in right-center field. The blast was his third of the year and went back-to-back with No. 17 Yankees prospect Alexander Vargas.
After a groundout in the fifth, Dominguez capped the Tarpons' scoring by driving in Vargas with a soft ground ball to second in the eighth inning.
After a slow start to the season, Dominguez has appeared to settle in of late. The speedy outfielder is sporting a .252/.300/.417 slash line with 11 extra-base hits, 18 runs and 13 RBIs in 24 games. He also has successfully swiped four bags in five attempts. Dominguez signed for $5.1 million out of the Dominican Republic in July 2019 after drawing comparisons to the likes of Bo Jackson, Mickey Mantle and Mike Trout.
