Friday BP: Erwin Higueros chats with Jarlin García

Hello and happy Friday.

The San Francisco Giants have a very cool segment on their YouTube channel called “Conversación Gigante.” In it, Erwin Higueros talks with a member of the Giants, usually in Spanish, about baseball, life, and the player’s journey from being a baseball-loving kid to a professional player.

In the latest episode, Higueros — the team’s Spanish language radio broadcaster, as well as a member of both the Hispanic marketing and media relations departments — talks with left-handed reliever Jarlin García.

García is in his second year with the Giants, and has cemented his role as a core part of the team’s bullpen. Hearing him talk more in depth about his life and backrground is neat.
