Adam Ottavino
The Ottavino family has their fingerprints all over New York City...literally. They helped build the landmarks we all know as NYC from the ground up. So, after setting franchise records as the closer for the Colorado Rockies, when Adam Ottavino signed a three year deal with the Yankees in 2019, it wasn’t just a matter of playing for the team he grew up watching, it was about coming home to where he belongs. The pitcher talks about how his former "batcave" in Harlem prepared him for quarantine workouts, how he and newest Yankees ace Gerrit Cole are becoming fast friends, and what it felt like the first time he put on the pinstripes. Adam and Jensen also open up about their shared struggles with mental health and the helpful exercises Adam has practiced over his MLB career.
