The Yankees were in need of a boost to the starting rotation and Deivi García stepped up, stifling the New York Mets over six innings in his MLB debut on Sunday afternoon. García, who just turned 21-years-old in May, has shown the ability to rise to the occasion when challenged by the Yankees with aggressive promotions and big games.
In 2018, García’s season began in early June with the Low-A Charleston Riverdogs. Held back to control his innings, he hit the ground running and proved that he was ready for bigger challenges.
