Yankees Rookie Jorbit Vivas Delivers Historic Debuts

Yankees rookie Jorbit Vivas has made an immediate impact, highlighted by his first career home run against the Texas Rangers that secured a 1-0 win and completed a series sweep. Vivas also made franchise history during the Subway Series versus the Mets with a dramatic, game-winning 11-pitch at-bat, resulting in a go-ahead fielder's choice. His at-bat marked the most pitches seen by a Yankee in a late-game, lead-changing situation since 1988. Called up after Jazz Chisholm Jr.'s injury, Vivas has demonstrated poise and resilience, earning praise from teammates and coaches. Cody Bellinger credited Vivas' at-bat as pivotal in the Yankees' 8-2 Subway Series victory. Vivas' performances have provided crucial depth amid injuries and signaled his potential as a key contributor.
