Chris Dominguez (2006-09) was a catalyst for the growth of the UofL baseball program under head coach Dan McDonnell. Dominguez anchored the middle of lineup for four seasons, guiding the 2007 team to the College World Series. During his outstanding career with the Cards, Dominguez still stands in the top 10 on many of the school's all-time lists, ranking first in runs batted in, second all-time in runs and home runs, while standing ninth in hits.

A two-time All-American in 2008 and 2009, Dominguez became the second player to earn first team All-America accolades. During the 2009 season, Dominguez tied the school record with 25 home runs. He was also tabbed the BIG EAST Player of the Year in back-to-back seasons.

Dominguez was drafted in the third round by the San Francisco Giants in 2009 and made his major league debut in 2014.
