The New York Yankees selected Warren in the eighth round, with the 243rd overall selection, of the 2021 MLB draft. Warren made his professional debut in 2022 with the Hudson Valley Renegades of the High-A South Atlantic League. He had a 3.60 earned run average (ERA) and 42 strikeouts in 35 innings pitched before the Yankees promoted him to the Somerset Patriots of the Double-A Eastern League in May.
