Season 4, Episode 9: Ben Rice

Ben Rice has been on some kind of magical journey this year, as he continues to establish himself as one of the best hitters in the league. And as he tells Yankees Magazine deputy editor Jon Schwartz on this week’s episode, it’s all on account of maniacal levels of preparation, in all facets of the game (and of life). “Ben Arroz” has proven to be uniquely capable of connecting teammates in the clubhouse while also offering the offensive firepower the team needs with Aaron Judge out of the lineup, and he talks about his entire process. Then, YES Network’s Meredith Marakovits and Jon chat about the latest news in Yankees universe and even give some thoughts on the NBA Finals.

Don’t forget, the New York Yankees Official Podcast is also available in video form on the Gotham Sports App. Check us out! And if you have questions you’d like Meredith to get answers to, send them to podcast@yankees.com.
