One of the big stories on the Yankees’ young season has been the MLB debuts. On Opening Day, Anthony Volpe, the team’s highest-rated prospect and one of the top ranked ones in all of baseball, made his MLB debut for the team he rooted for as a child. A couple days later, Jhony Brito put in an impressive outing in his own debut. He struck out six batters in five scoreless innings after being catapulted into a major league role with the Yankees dealing with a bunch of injuries in the rotation.
In honor of those two making an impression on the season so far, let’s dig into the history books and look at some other notable debuts.
