Spring training is a time for experimentation. Pitchers try to add new pitches to their arsenals, position players try their hands at new positions to increase their versatility — there have even been cases of players working to become switch-hitters during preseason workouts, as the Rays’ Ji-Man Choi attempted in 2020.
In a similar vein, the YES Network has used this spring’s exhibition games to experiment a bit: in order to spruce up a broadcast in which only one person from the YES team, Meredith Marakovits, is actually at the game (the other two have either been in the studio or at home), the crew has regularly done in-game interviews with players and coaches.
