The New York Yankees showcased their potential with a dominant 7-0 spring training victory against the St. Louis Cardinals. Austin Wells made an early spring debut, catching pitcher Will Warren and contributing at the plate with a two-run double. Wells, a sophomore catcher and AL Rookie of the Year contender, expressed a desire to improve his batting consistency this season.

Warren, a highly-touted pitching prospect, struck out four batters in three perfect innings, drawing praise for his aggressive pitching style and improved changeup and curveball. Manager Aaron Boone noted Warren's growth after a rough 2024 season, emphasizing his confidence and potential as a crucial team player in 2025. Although currently without a spot in the rotation, his electric performance has made him a focal point of Yankees camp.
