The Yankees’ top prospect Justus Sheffield made his long-awaited Major League debut last night in the Bronx. The Bombers had a 10-1 lead over rival Boston in the top of the ninth, and out came the 22-year-old who was acquired from Cleveland in the Andrew Miller trade. The game was already won, but the atmosphere in the stadium was electric as everyone wanted to see what the kid had.
The rookie hurler made it a memorable appearance that’s for sure. The bases were loaded with just one out and the .334 hitting Mookie Betts at the plate.
