Yankees Rookie Ben Rice's Memorable MLB Debut

Ben Rice, in his MLB debut for the New York Yankees, showcased his talent by getting his first hit, a single into right field, during the game against the Baltimore Orioles.

Rice, known for his strong hitting abilities, demonstrated composure and skill, earning praise from teammates and coaches alike. This whirlwind experience marks a significant milestone for Rice, who has shown promise since his selection in the 2021 draft as a catcher transitioning to first base.
