Yankees Magazine

The Yankees have the best record in the majors, so we’re chatting about the obvious and totally predictable reasons for their success — Nestor Cortes and Michael King. Obviously, success has many fathers, and part of what has made this season so special in the Bronx has been the contributions from the entire roster, but we can promise you that we didn’t expect to have Nasty Nestor on our June cover when spring training started. Yankees Magazine editors Alfred Santasiere III, Nathan Maciborski bob and weave with the times, and in this episode, they chat about Nate’s feature on Cortes, and Jon’s look at King.

This is a pretty offensive episode, but not the type that requires a parental warning. First things first, Yankees Magazine editors Alfred Santasiere III and Jon Schwartz chat about our May cover story on Anthony Rizzo, which Al reported and wrote earlier this year. And while the first baseman — who re-signed with the Yankees this past offseason, after arriving in an deadline deal in 2021 — looks to get back on another dominant run like the one he enjoyed in April, he can lean on new hitting coach Dillon Lawson, who chatted with Jon for a Q&A. Lawson’s simple philosophy — “Hit Strikes Hard” — betrays a remarkable complex and layered hitting system that has paid dividends so far in 2022.

The Yankees keep rolling, thanks in large part to a dominant bullpen. If you go back 16 months, no one in their right mind would have guessed that Lucas Luetge would be a part of that equation, yet here we are. On this week’s episode, Yankees Magazine editors Nathan Maciborki and Jon Schwartz discuss Jon’s feature about Luetge, which is really about bourbon, but do with it what you will. Plus, a look back at two incredibly memorable Opening Days.

April showers bring May flowers, but they also occasionally bring the thunder. Even when the sun is shining, though, new Yankees third baseman Josh Donaldson is dead-set on bringing the rain — it’s right there in his Twitter handle.
