The New York Yankees have released their Opening Day roster, which includes pitching prospect Michael King. Per the Yankees’ official Twitter, these are the 30 men who will take the field against the Washington Nationals on Thursday night:
King, who rocketed through three levels of the team’s minor league system two years ago, is expected to pitch on Sunday. He posted a 3.86 ERA in four spring training/summer camp appearances and showcased impressive control. New York fans can also look forward to watching more of first baseman Mike Ford, who hit a moonshot home run that might have broken Statcast on Monday.
