A left-handed rookie center fielder faced a high-pressure moment in the bottom of the 10th during a Subway Series game at Citi Field. After a three-run home run tied the game in the ninth and the Yankees were kept scoreless, he led off against a southpaw and was instructed to bunt to advance the ghost runner from second to third. He laid down a perfectly placed sacrifice bunt, moving the runner within 90 feet of scoring. Two batters later, a chopper ended the game with a Mets win. Early major-league results show strong batting and on-base production, including walks and stolen bases. He credits comfort in the batter’s box and emphasizes staying true to his game while helping the team win.
"Perhaps the most noticeable aspect of Ewing's game that is not reflected in the stat sheet or on the field is the inordinate pragmatism from someone his age. The youngster is remarkably level-headed, imploring that he does not have to change one iota of his game to make it in the majors. Obviously, I want to stick, but I'm here to just play my game and help the team win"
