It’s time to talk hitting, so we brought new Yankees hitting coach James Rowson into the podcast studio this week for a conversation with Yankees Magazine deputy editor Jon Schwartz. The two discuss hitting philosophies, the importance of communication, and the amount of credit Rowson intends to take for anything good Aaron Judge and Juan Soto are able to do with the bat. Then, Yankees Magazine editor in chief Alfred Santasiere III joins to discuss his April feature on Anthony Volpe, as well as the team’s hot start. And stick around for a fun chapter of History Books, featuring guest cameos from Leonardo DiCaprio, Kate Winslet and a certain ill-fated ocean liner.

We’re back with a new baseball season, which means that it’s time to launch our second season of the New York Yankees Official Podcast! Our season premiere features an exclusive conversation with new Yankees slugger Juan Soto, who just might be the most complete hitter in the game today (and is already making a case to be one of the best ever). Chatting with Yankees Magazine deputy editor Jon Schwartz, Soto talks about the excitement of playing in a new city, the thrilling support he enjoys from Dominican fans, and his expectations for the year to come. And stick around for the debut of our newest segment, HISTORY BOOKS, in which Brian Richards, the senior curator of the New York Yankees Museum Presented by Bank of America, offers listeners a lesser-known story about the most robustly covered baseball team in the world. This week’s segment looks at what was probably the first Opening Day in the history of the New York Yankees to go without paper tickets, plus a very special Opening Day for Babe Ruth.

For our final episode before the calendar flips to baseball season, relief pitcher Ian Hamilton takes his seat in the podcast studio, chatting with Yankees Magazine deputy editor Jon Schwartz about the value in a forgettable 2023, the excitement for this year’s relief squad, and the life of a pitcher coming into his own. Then, Jon zips back to the Bronx, where he and Yankees Magazine executive editor Nathan Maciborski talk about the final preparations for Opening Day and share some thoughts on this first season. The next episode, which will drop on March 28, will be the premiere of Season 2 of the New York Yankees Official Podcast. We look forward to chatting on the other side.

For our fourth and final episode from aboard the Celebrity Apex, we close our Legends of Baseball Cruise with the mayor of the Western Caribbean, Ron Blomberg. The first overall pick in the 1967 MLB Draft and the first player ever to bat as a designated hitter, Blomberg has enough stories to fill a cruise much longer than seven days, but we managed to hold him to just about a half-hour of mayhem during a conversation with Yankees Magazine deputy editor Jon Schwartz. Then, Jon chats with Yankees Magazine editors Alfred Santasiere III and Nathan Maciborski about Blomberg, and about the coming of a new spring training.

Our first episode of 2024 is our second recorded while aboard the Celebrity Apex for the 2023 Legends of Baseball Cruise. Our guest: current Yankee Oswaldo Cabrera.

We had hoped to be chatting about a remarkable late run to the postseason, but it wasn’t to be for the 2023 Yankees. But among the high notes of the season, Anthony Volpe’s development ranks pretty high. The rookie phenom made the Opening Day roster, then endured the ups and downs of a debut big-league season. But he took some time in September to chat with Yankees Magazine deputy editor Jon Schwartz about all he has learned in his first year, and what it could mean for the future. Then, Jon is joined by Alfred Santasiere III and Nathan Maciborski to talk about the upcoming October issue of the magazine, plus Al’s feature on Ron Blomberg.

Isiah Kiner-Falefa’s baseball journey is plenty unique. He’s a relative of Hall of Famer Ralph Kiner, and one of very few players to hail from Hawaii. But the most interesting thing about the Yankees’ do-it-all utility player is the way that he talks about his role on the 2023 Yankees. Brought to town last year to be the starting shortstop, these days, he’s much more likely to be found in the outfield or even on the pitcher’s mound. In a bracing and deeply honest conversation with Yankees Magazine deputy editor Jon Schwartz, Kiner-Falefa explains his goal to be the best utility player possible, and why that’s not faint praise. Plus, Yankees Magazine executive editor Nathan Maciborski stops by to chat about HOPE Week and a special 40th anniversary story about Dave Righetti’s July 4, 1983, no-hitter.
