MLB Insider Makes Statement On Anthony Volpe’s Future
Anthony Volpe made his return to the Yankees last week (after getting called up from Triple-A).
He has been solid since getting back to the MLB.
In his first game (on Thursday), Volpe hit a grand slam.
A special night for Volpe in the Bronx 💙
In a recent episode of Pinstripe Post, Joel Sherman spoke about Volpe (via New York Post Sports).
Sherman: “I think that there are really good season possibilities for Anthony Volpe. I think that step one, there were two pressure points. Step one was shortstop, step two is New York. He is off of shortstop. I think that is liberating for him as much as he wanted it to work at that position. I also think it would be liberating for him outside New York as much as he wants it to work in New York. But if you told me that he’d be the second baseman next year, and that he’d be Caleb Durbin and have a three to three-and-a-half WAR with 15 homers and 24 steals and a 710 OPS… where you look and go, not a superstar, but… it really helped winning.”
