The long-awaited debut of Bo Bichette finally helped on Monday night, and the #1 prospect in the Blue Jays’ minor league system made an impact in his first game. He even collected a hit in his first at-bat, on the second big league pitch he’s ever seen.
Regardless of how ready a prospect may be, or even how confident they may be, there are still some nerves that come with making your MLB debut. I don’t care who you are. But Bichette certainly had the benefit of some familiar faces around him, joining several of his former teammates who had reached the highest level before he did.
