Jasson Dominguez is called "The Martian" because someone in his home country, the Dominican Republic, was so awestruck by his talent that they said his abilities were not of this world. This led to the nickname "El Marciano" in Spanish, which means "The Martian." The nickname stuck with him from a young age and reflects his extraordinary, almost otherworldly athleticism and baseball skills that have drawn comparisons to legendary players like Mike Trout, Mickey Mantle, and Bo Jackson. Dominguez himself embraces this nickname as a symbol of his unique skills and potential.
