Ryan Weathers Dominates in Impressive Yankees Spring Debut

Yankees pitcher Ryan Weathers made a dominant first spring training and team debut, striking out five batters and allowing just one hit and no walks over 3.2 innings against the Nationals. The southpaw, acquired from the Marlins in the offseason, threw 49 pitches (32 strikes) and faced the minimum 27 batters in New York's 7-0 shutout victory. Weathers, 25, is expected to serve as a depth arm, potentially as a starter or out of the bullpen, and showed intriguing potential in his initial outing.
