Perhaps the most important lesson Luis Severino learned Saturday covered not baseball, but Disney World: It’s vast and confusing, and weekend traffic is a doozy.

The Yankees’ Opening Day starter reported to Champion Stadium about 11:45 Saturday morning, considerably later than expected for a 1:07 first pitch, though he stayed in the area Friday night. The Yankees could shrug it off given the circumstances, and it helped the right-hander that he proceeded to clock a solid five innings in the Yankees’ split-squad, 8-3 victory over the Braves.

“I guess he went to the wrong place [on Disney grounds],” Yankees pitching coach Larry Rothschild said. “That’s not a good thing, but we won’t have that problem during the year.”

“It was supposed to be 15 minutes [from where he stayed],” said Severino, who made the trip to Disney because the Yankees wanted to keep him away from the Blue Jays, whom he’ll face Thursday in the season opener, in the split-squad contest. “It was 30 minutes. I meant to check the traffic before.”

He looked unshaken from the experience, as he limited the Braves to a pair of runs on two hits and two walks while striking out seven. His one bad pitch, he said, was a fourth-inning fastball that cut into Ozzie Albies instead of going outside. Albies responded with a two-run homer. Severino proceeded to walk Freddie Freeman and Nick Markakis, prompting a Rothschild mound visit, which led to Severino retiring the final six Atlanta batters he faced, five on strikeouts.

“I’m ready,” Severino said. “I feel ready.”

It helps, he said, that though this marks his initial Opening Day assignment, he pitched the Yankees’ playoff opener last year, when he memorably recorded only one out and gave up three runs to the Twins in the American League wild-card game. He rebounded to record a win over the Indians in the AL Division Series and displayed mediocre results in two AL Championship Series starts against the Astros.

“I think it helps a lot,” Rothschild said. “I’m not sure we would have started him on Opening Day if he hadn’t had those experiences. It’s good. He’s been through it. Opening Day’s always different, just because of the time frame, different times, a lot going on. It gets rushed. But he’s been through it.”

“I think it’s going to be the same atmosphere,” Severino said. “I have to bring myself [down]. Not try to rush. Calm myself down and throw one pitch at a time.”
