In many cases, players leaving their teams during spring training for the World Baseball Classic has been a cause for concern.
But in Kyle Higashioka’s case, there may be a little less worry because of the rapport the defense-minded catcher already has with the Yankees’ pitching staff.
Higashioka called that “probably the biggest reason I’m more comfortable with leaving for a couple weeks,” which he will do on Monday to join Team USA.“Representing USA has been kind of a dream of mine, and I didn’t really think it could happen,” said Higashioka, who caught Gerrit Cole on Friday night in a 5-3 loss to the Tigers at Steinbrenner Field. “So I’m really excited for it.”
Michael King struck out four across two scoreless innings of relief Friday in his first game action since he broke his elbow last July.
