We have some guys that are having great starts to their season individually, but everyone in that room has contributed in so many different ways,Defensively, running the bases, out of the 'pen, starting rotation … I think that gives everyone a lot of confidence going into each day, knowing we don't have to do it just one way."

Kyle Higashioka had this to say about teammates, outfielders Aaron Judge, Giancarlo Stanton!

"It feels like Judge and [Giancarlo] Stanton are always just hitting them over the fence," Higashioka said. "But there's some days where other people are going to have to step up. We have the kind of team where guys can do that."

New York manager Aaron Boone had this to say about Anthony Rizzo’s performance offensively!

I thought Rizzo said it really well,”It’s something we say in Spring Training when the full group is there. Look around; even if you don’t think you’re going to impact us, there’s a chance you might come up in a huge spot. One day, one week, whatever. Make sure you’re ready.”

Clarke Schmidt who usually is a reliever coming out of bullpen for New York for the team that wears the pinstripes started in place of Luis Severino because Luis Severino landed on the covid injured list prior to making his start.

Clarke Schmidt treated the outing like a relief appearance, eschewing the usual outfield machinations of a starting pitcher. Aaron Boone asked Clarke Schmidt to provide three innings and 50 pitches, Schmidt hit those numbers precisely, striking out five and permitting just one hit.

Whatever name is called, you’re expected to get the job done,”It’s been happening every single time. That’s just a testament to this team. There’s so many things that go on behind the scenes as far as development and information. It’s just showing every day and night on the field.”
