Andy Pettitte took the mound for an inning against the Mets in his spring debut Wednesday and retired three of the four hitters he faced, allowing just a single in the process.
?It felt good to be able to get out there and get the inning in, especially in a big league game? he said. ?It definitely felt a little weird, there?s no doubt about it. Once I got out there, it was just like you never left. It was fun.?
Pettitte received a standing ovation while coming out to pitch the sixth inning. Prospect Cory Vaughn led off the frame with a hit, but Pettitte was able to work around it.
?Obviously, anytime you get fans to cheer for you, that?s a good thing,? he said. ?It?s all coming back. I feel like the stuff is there. I just have to build stamina.?
Pettitte, attempting a comeback after a brief one-year retirement, ?is expected to spend the next month working his way through the Yankees? minor league system. If all goes well, he could join the rotation at the beginning of May.
