Here’s what people were saying about Volpe recently:
@JonFromMaspeth: “Don’t be fooled by Volpe stats this season. They have been limiting his exposure to RHP, which he has struggled against greatly. Hes always hit LHP fairly well in his career. They’re just realizing now that he’s more of a platoon hitter.”
@yankeesondeck_: “I stopped being a Volpe shill after 2025 but it’s really weird how some people won’t acknowledge he’s been hitting right now. Yes, we’ve seen these stretches before. And will see if he keeps it up. But right now he’s doing his job.”
@SleeperYankees: “Anthony Volpe in his last five games: .412 AVG .912 OPS 7 H 1 RBI 1 R The bat is coming alive.”
@yankplane06: “Skubal is going to give Volpe a hanging off speed pitch that he will hit for a HR tonight. Book it.”
