Episode 5: Kyle Higashioka

Yankees catcher Kyle Higashioka insists that he has a killer instinct, but when he stopped by our podcast studio, he showed the same chill, cool, uber-California style that Yankees fans and teammates have gotten to know for years. The longest-tenured member of the organization, Higashioka chats with Yankees Magazine deputy editor Jon Schwartz about the team’s pitching staff, the very different joys of catching a no-hitter and hitting three homers in a game, and so much more. Then, Al Santasiere and Nate Maciborski join to discuss the team’s scorching run over the past few weeks, including some walk-off heroics from May cover star Anthony Volpe. https://www.mlb.com/yankees/news/kyle-higashioka-talks-about-yankees-history?t=yankees-magazine Learn more about your ad choices.
