The Yankees have tried lineup change after lineup change thus far in 2021, and very few of them have worked.

Mike Ford in the cleanup spot? Nice try, but Aaron Judge may never see a pitch to hit again.

Aaron Hicks batting third? Yeah, not so much. Not exactly.

But this team has only seven wins on the season, and in two of them, backup catcher Kyle Higashioka has been the direct catalyst.
