Is It Time For Kyle Higashioka's, Gary Sanchez's Roles To Be Reversed? Is It Time For Kyle Higashioka To Be The Starting Catcher For New York And Gary Sanchez To Be The Backup Catcher For New York?

Is it time for Kyle Higashioka’s and Gary Sanchez’s roles to be reversed?

Is time for Kyle Higashioka to be the starting catcher and for New York and Gary Sanchez to be the backup catcher?

I think the answer to both of those questions are yes!

Why?

Because Gary Sanchez has begun the 2021 season 10-55 with with two homers and four RBIs in 17 games.

While Kyle Higashioka meanwhile is on the other end of spectrum!

Why?

He is 8-25 e 8-for-25 (.320) with four homers and six RBIs in 11 games while earning the trust of the pitching staff.

Including, a home run last in game two of the four series verses Baltimore in Baltimore Maryland where he backed Corey Kluber in his start by hitting a home run.

Recently,

Manager Aaron Boone had this to say about the catching situation!

He’s just earned more playing time -- simple as that,” Boone said of Higashioka. “He’s done a great job. His improvements over the last couple of years on both sides of the ball have been strong. I think the way he’s played here at the onset of the season have earned him some more opportunities.”

They're obviously both going to play a lot, but it'll be kind of a day-by-day thing that I’ll try and communicate as best I can,” Boone said. “[Sánchez] understood the situation. He wants [to be] in the lineup, but I think he certainly understands that Higgy has earned some more things as well.”
