Chad Green MLB Debut Recap

Chad Green made his MLB debut last night against the Arizona Diamondbacks. Lets just say he has a lot to work on if he wants to remain a starter for the Yankees. However that is usually expected for a young pitcher.

"It was an awesome experience, but I felt like I got some balls up in the zone and they did some damage with it," Green said." Overall I made a couple of mistakes that I'm not happy with, but it is OK."

Honestly, it could have been worse. It was his first start, I believe he will improve and become stronger over time. This was just a taste to show him what the Big leagues look like. He did manage to last the first inning, striking out his first batter and retiring the other two. Most people would know there is a tremendous amount of pressure on new pitchers and I'm sure Green was pretty nervous out there.

"I was just trying to calm myself down a little bit, try not to get too amped up, try not to overthrow pitches," Green said. "I think I did overthrow a few of them but from the first inning I was just trying to get ahead with the fastball."

Hopefully New York will look alive tonight as the struggling Pineda looks to get a win against Zack Greinke. Game time will also be at 9:40 p.m. tonight at Chase Field.
