Former Arizona Wildcat Robert Refsnyder makes his Major League Debut at historic Fenway Park for the New York Yankees on Saturday.

Rob Refsnyder was the hero for Arizona Wildcats Baseball in its run to the 2012 National Title. Refsnyder debuted at 2nd base, the position he was moved to in his first pro season with the Yankees organization, batting 9th.

Although he went hitless in his debut, going 0-3, man what a day it must have been. Playing for the one of the best known baseball organizations in Major League Baseball, putting on the pinstripes. Love or hate the Yankees no one could ever say they wouldn’t want to wear the pinstripes. And as if all that wasn’t enough, he gets to play in the oldest Major League Baseball park in the country in a game against the Boston Redsoxs which is the fiercest rivalry in the MLB.

Refsnyder is the first of the 2012 Wildcats Baseball team to break into the big leagues. Refsnyder was drafted by the New York Yankees with the 187th pick in 2012. He is ranked the 5th best prospect in the Yankees organization, and 7th at his second base position according to mlb.com.

It was not a perfect day in the park after a “questionable” play when Pablo Sandoval made a slide to try to break up a double play at 2nd base. ESPN.com had a great outlook on the play and day for Refsnyder.

It is a huge step for Refsnyder considering any moves made before the All-star break in the MLB are for the immediate future of the club. Especially when your team is leading the American League East and you’re named as the starter for a big series going into the break; this may be sign of things to come.

Today was step forward for Refsnyder with his first career hit and home run vs The Redsoxs. He finished the day 2-4 with two runs batted in, not a bad 2nd day in the office of the big leagues.
