Description
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.
