New York manager Aaron Boone had this to say about Luis Gil’s Major League Baseball Debut, New York Debut.
he loved the fact that Gil threw early strikes, as well as the way that he worked with catcher Gary Sánchez.
“He was getting [strike one] all night. He was able to land his breaking ball and threw some good changeups, too,” Boone said. “So he had a presence with his secondary pitches. As we talked about before the game, the fastball really plays. It’s great velocity and it has great characteristics. He was pounding the strike zone.”
Luis Gil wasn’t the pitcher to make his Major League Debut and come up from Scranton/Wilkies -Barre as Brody Koerner, Stephen Ridings did too!
Unlike Luis Gil Brody Koerner , Stephen Ridings came out of the bullpen for New York!
