Yankees catcher Kyle Higashioka surprised many by going on a hitting spree during the first month of the 2021 season. He started off his campaign by collecting 4 hits in his first 10 at-bats, and a pair of them soared over the fence for homers. Moreover, in the first four games he started, Higgy demonstrated power and an exceedingly high on-base percentage that subverted his reputation as a light-hitting defensive catcher.
