This New York Yankees Prospect Is Being Compared To Rams Star Aaron Donald By Teammates

Jasson Dominguez is only 19, but his pictures may fool you. ‘The Martian’, nicknamed for his out of this world ability has seemingly put on a tremendous amount of muscle mass ever since his induction with the New York Yankees in 2019. And with him putting on so much mass, his teammates seem to be enjoying themselves finding a new nickname for the young outfielder. And cashing in on fame from the Super Bowl, Dominguez has been recently anointed.

The defensive tackle for the Los Angeles Rams sounds like an unfair comparison until you see the two side-by-side.
