Yankees Magazine Podcast Season 6, Episode 5 Hitmakers

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. Learn more about your ad choices.
