At 22, Jasson Domínguez, affectionately dubbed “The Martian,” has already etched his name into MLB history. Since May 1, 2025, the New York Yankees’ outfielder has achieved a remarkable feat, becoming the first player ever to hit three homers in a game, homer from both sides of the plate in a single game, hit a grand slam, and deliver a walk-off home run all within the same month. This extraordinary stretch has solidified Domínguez as one of baseball’s brightest young stars.
As the Yankees head to Colorado for a three-game series against the Rockies, all eyes will be on the switch-hitting phenom to see if he can keep his otherworldly performance going in the thin air of Coors Field. With his current stats and the hitter-friendly conditions in Denver, the question looms: will Domínguez go over or under two home runs and 6 RBIs in this series?
Domínguez’s 2025 season has been a breakout campaign. As of May 23, he’s batting .236 with a .762 OPS, six home runs, 22 RBIs, and four stolen bases across 32 games. While his batting average may not dazzle, his power and speed combination—paired with a 128 wRC+—signals a player on the cusp of stardom. His ability to hit for power from both sides of the plate, his 90.8 mph average exit velocity and his 54.3% hard-hit rate showcase his elite raw talent.
The Martian’s recent heroics, including a three-homer, seven-RBI game against the Athletics on May 9 and a walk-off homer against the Rangers on May 21, highlight his knack for delivering in clutch moments. These performances have sparked optimism that Domínguez could be on track for a 30/30 season, mainly as warmer weather boosts ball carry at Yankee Stadium, where studies suggest fly balls travel roughly 6 feet farther in summer months.

The Martian Will Feast in the High Altitude
With its high altitude and spacious outfield, Coors Field presents a golden opportunity for Domínguez to pad his stats. The park’s thin air reduces air resistance, leading to a 10-15% increase in home run distance compared to sea-level stadiums. In 2024, Coors Field saw an average of 1.3 home runs per game, one of the highest in MLB. This environment could be a perfect storm for a player like Domínguez, whose 9.8% barrel rate and plus arm strength make him a dynamic threat. His ability to spray the ball to all fields—evidenced by his May 9 grand slam and multi-homer games—suggests he can exploit Coors’ expansive gaps and short porch in left-center.
So, what about the over/under for two home runs and 6 RBIs in the three-game series? Let’s break it down. Domínguez’s pace is roughly 0.19 home runs and 0.69 RBIs per game. Over three games, that projects to about 0.57 home runs and 2.07 RBIs—well below the 2 HR and 6 RBI thresholds. However, Coors Field’s unique conditions could amplify his output. In his last 10 games, he’s hit four home runs and driven in 12 RBIs, showing a hot streak that aligns with his May heroics. The Rockies’ pitching staff, which posted a 4.79 ERA in 2024, isn’t intimidating, and their bullpen’s 5.01 ERA could provide late-inning opportunities for Domínguez to feast.
Still, the under feels safer. While Domínguez’s power is undeniable, hitting two home runs in three games requires sustained aggression, and the Yankees’ outfield logjam—featuring Cody Bellinger and Aaron Judge—has occasionally limited his plate appearances. Trent Grisham’s recent hot streak has also led to Domínguez sitting out some games, though his May performance makes it unlikely he’ll be benched much in Colorado. The 6 RBI mark is even tougher, as it would require multiple multi-run games, something he’s only achieved twice this season.
In this World Predictions for Yankees Kid
Under 2 HR, under 6 RBIs. Domínguez will likely hit one home run and drive in 3-4 runs, capitalizing on Coors’ conditions but falling short of the lofty thresholds. Regardless, The Martian’s star is rising, and this series could be another step toward his projected 30/30 destiny.
