Behind home plate, Jonah Heim feels at home. You might call it fate that the 28-year-old and his family now call North Texas home.
Rangers Catcher Jonah Heim broke a scoreless tie early Sunday night. He drove in the first run of this year’s American League Championship Series. He has quickly become a fixture in the Rangers lineup.
Heim’s dream school was UT Austin. But in 2013, the Baltimore Orioles drafted Heim out of high school. "We rented a nice little house, and my wife was like, ‘We gotta move here.’ So then we bought a house, and we’re stationed here now," he said. "So we’re happy to be here, and we want to be here for a very long time."Texas Rangers announcer Eric Nadel talks about the team's undefeated playoff run ahead of Game 2.
"Watching Jonah grow this year has been great," the coach said. "He’s not the loudest guy in the world, needless to say, but his heart’s big. And he gives a damn, and that’s the one thing we can’t overlook with Jonah just because he’s a quiet guy."
