There’s something incredibly refreshing about seeing Cody Bellinger in pinstripes. He’s a fantastic player, and his arrival in New York brings a level of energy and excitement that’s hard to ignore. Adding to the magic, his father once played for the Yankees, making this moment even more special.
Bellinger opened up about his nerves leading up to his Yankees debut, offering an honest glimpse into his emotions. In a postgame interview, he appeared more animated than usual, reflecting on what it meant to step onto the field for Opening Day.
“Crazy emotions, honestly,” Bellinger shared. “Just so excited, so many nerves, a lot of butterflies. But at the end of the day, you need to embrace them, understand this cool experience. We came out with a W, and that’s the most important thing.”
"Full of crazy emotions...so excited, so many nerves"

The Yankees acquired Bellinger from the Chicago Cubs during the offseason in exchange for right-handed pitcher Cody Poteet. Now, with the Cubs designating Poteet for assignment before the start of the season, the trade is looking like a clear win for New York.
If Bellinger can tap into his MVP-caliber form, this move could be a game-changer for the Yankees. Here’s to hoping he thrives in the Bronx and delivers a season to remember.
