How a short season could benefit Adam Ottavino

The Yankees’ young pitchers have been one of the most intriguing topics during the team’s spring and summer camps. As we inch closer to Opening Day, we found out that one of the team’s best arms has earned a spot on the 30-man roster.

On Tuesday afternoon, manager Aaron Boone announced that Michael King has made the Opening Day roster. The 25-year-old will be with the big league club as the team opens up its season on Thursday night on the road against the Washington Nationals.
