After initial expectation was that Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson wouldn’t participate in any of the New York Yankees spring training games, he actually got an at-bat against the Atlanta Braves on Friday.
Pinch-hitting for Yankees star Aaron Judge in the bottom of the fifth inning, Wilson lasted five pitches vs. Max Fried. Russell only swung twice in his at-bat, tipping the first pitch behind home plate for a foul ball. The count started out at 0-2, followed by consecutive low balls by Fried, then finally Wilson struck out swinging.
Here’s video of the final pitch that ended Wilson’s day.
