Russell Wilson struck out in his first spring training at-bat with the New York Yankees.
The Seattle Seahawks quarterback pinch hit for AL Rookie of the Year Aaron Judge in the fifth inning against Atlanta on Friday and swung past a 2-2 pitch from left-hander Max Fried.
"The best thing for me is Ahkello Witherspoon Jersey , I had no fear," Wilson said. "I went up there with confidence. I was ready and will always remember that. And I'll remember when they announced my name."
Wilson received a loud ovation when introduced and fouled back the first pitch sharply to the screen.
"I used to go crazy when Derek Jeter walked up to the plate," Wilson said. "To have that feeling and experience, I'll never, never forget that. It always be a memory of mine, forever."
The decision to give Wilson an at-bat was made Thursday, and the Seahawks approved. Wilson did not take the field in the sixth to play defense.
"It was cool to see," said Yankees slugger Giancarlo Stanton, who was in the on-deck circle. "We were anticipating it all day.
A former minor league infielder, Wilson is spending this week working out with the Yankees Manti Te'o Jersey , who acquired him from Texas last month and wanted to observe his leadership skills. He wants to soak up the attitude of a franchise with a record 27 World Series titles.
The 29-year-old Wilson led the Seahawks to the 2014 Super Bowl championship.
"It's been great all week," said Wilson, who took batting practice in a group that included Stanton and Judge.
Wilson will end his stay at Yankees camp Saturday.
"I think we share the same philosophy, it's not easy to win," Wilson said. "These guys know what they're doing. This is going to be a great baseball team."
In 93 career minor league games between Rookie-level Tri-City (2010) and Class A Asheville (2011) in Colorado's system, Wilson hit .229 with 19 stolen bases, five homers and 26 RBIs. In his last 15 games with Asheville in 2011, Wilson hit .302, had five extra-base hits and nine RBIs.
Wilson was selected by the Rockies in the fourth round of the 2010 amateur draft, and was acquired by Texas in the minor league phase of the 2013 winter meeting draft. He participated in Rangers' spring training workouts in 2014 and '15.
NOTES: RHP Masahiro Tanaka was not worried after not getting through the second inning of his first start. "Mistakes on my part Dorian O'Daniel Jersey ," Tanaka said through a translator. He allowed four runs and four hits in 1 1/3 innings. ... Judge played right field for the first time since offseason left shoulder surgery. He made his debut Wednesday as the DH. ... OF Clint Frazier still has concussion symptoms and underwent an MRI.
The Atlanta Falcons nearly won a Super Bowl a year ago behind the NFLs most potent offense.
It was that side of the ball that ended their chances to get to the big game again.
Atlanta managed only 10 first-half points, both coming off Philadelphia turnovers, and lost 15-10 to the Eagles on Saturday. While Philadelphia advances to the NFC championship game, the Falcons (11-7) go home.
I think thats certainly something that we have to look at and evaluate this offseason, Matt Ryan said after concluding a somewhat down season for him in the wake of his 2016 league MVP campaign. There were too many times that we were a little bit inconsistent.
That was exemplified against the Eagles (14-3), who like the Falcons sputtered in the red zone. But Philly got three field goals from Jake Elliott and a touchdown run from LeGarrette Blount.
Most damaging for Atlanta was how it came up empty deep in Eagles territory on its final drive. The Falcons had first-and-goal at the 9, and got to the 2 on fourth down before Ryans pass to Julio Jones soared over his head in the end zone.
Certainly in those situations you want to go to your best players, Ryan explained. You know, obviously rolled to the right and had an opportunity to Julio. It just didnt work out and thats disappointing.
Atlanta was the NFLs highest-scoring team last season, but its lowest production was in a 24-15 defeat to the Eagles. The offense wasnt nearly as productive this season Stefon Diggs Jersey , falling to 15th, from 33.8 points a game to 22.1.
The Falcons didnt come close to their seasons average, or to the 26 they put on the board in beating the Rams in a wild-card matchup last weekend.
So while the defense was vastly improved, particularly in the pass rush, the Falcons fell flat with the ball far too many times.
Thats one of the areas we are dialed in from the beginning of the season to where how we make sure those arent field goals and they turn into touchdowns, coach Dan Quinn said. Was there plays that knocked us out? Could we have done better in the run game down there?
Those are certainly topics we are going to look long and deep into.
Star receiver Jones had a strong game with nine receptions for 101 yards. He was targeted 16 times.
But he couldnt get free downfield, except for a 20-yard reception on fourth down on the final drive. For the Falcons to be Super Bowl threats down the road, Jones must be nearly unstoppable.
Atlantas running game was spotty against the Eagles, too. Several times, Tevin Coleman had open lanes and got nice gains. On other plays Jerick McKinnon Jersey , he and Devonta Freeman didnt have an inch to run when Ryan handed off.
Coleman, usually the backup, had 79 yards on 10 carries, with a long of 23. Freeman had only 7 yards on his 10 carries.
In contrast, the Eagles ran for 96 yards and had several big plays on the ground.
Now, the Falcons must cope with a much earlier and nearly as dramatic defeat as what they sustained last February.
Its difficult when you get to the playoffs and youve put in all the work throughout the year, Ryan said. Youre in a competitive game like tonight. Theres a lot of back and forth. Its disappointing to not get the outcome that you want.
The finality of it sometimes is difficult, so were disappointed for sure.
