Anthony Volpe made a strong impression in his first start for the Yankees during a game against the Blue Jays in the Grapefruit League.
Volpe, who is the organization’s top-ranked prospect, played as the leadoff hitter and showed his potential on the field.
He made a hard hit during his first pitch, which was caught by the opposing team’s shortstop.
Later, he hit a ball that was misplayed by an outfielder, which allowed him to turn a single into a double.
In the fourth inning, he hit a single and then stole second and third base. In the end, he finished the game 2-for-4 with two runs scored.
Volpe’s performance showed off his aggressiveness on the field, which he attributes to his focus on the middle of the field.
He has an outside chance of replacing incumbent shortstop Isiah Kiner-Falefa and other prospects in the position.
Volpe’s makeup and attention to detail caught the eye of the Yankees’ bench coach Carlos Mendoza, who described him as a total pro.
Volpe’s intangibles and abilities make him an excellent candidate for a future with the Yankees.
