Yochim had an extensive career in minor league baseball. He began his professional career in 1941 with the Springfield Cardinals, and moved his way up in the Cardinals' organization over that year and 1942. After missing the 1943-45 seasons while serving in World War II, he returned to the Rochester Red Wings in 1946-47. After his brief major league career, he continued to play in the minor leagues until 1958, when he served as player-manager of the New Orleans Pelicans.

He was the older brother of former MLB pitcher and long time scout, Lenny Yochim (1928-2013).
