There is no information about Domingo’s childhood and family. Because of his ethnicity, Domingo didn’t enter MLB through the Draft, that’s why it is unknown from which school or college he graduated.
Domingo started his professional baseball career in 200 where the Florida Marlins (current Miami Marlins) acquired Germán as an international free agent. Domingo represented the Miami Marlins in the game featuring top minor-league prospects and played as a run-up to MLB’s All-Star Game on July 15.

He had the best win-loss percentage of MLB pitchers in 2019, at .818.
On January 2, 2020, Germán was suspended for the first 63 games of 2020, making his punishment for 81 games including time served in 2019 due to violating the league’s personal conduct policy, the harshest suspension levied to a player on domestic violence allegations, but not formally charged.

The suspension also includes spring training games to note, since his return to the team, he has been terrific.
