Social Media On Volpe’s Performance
Here’s what people were saying about Volpe:
@YankeeBeagle2: “I haven’t checked on him outside of highlights I see on here but if he can hit with this approach he could split time with Jazz at second and face lefties once rosters expand.”
@Yankeesfan__27: “Dude really wants his spot back”
@Captain2Corner: “Don’t let him get hot”
@HalToHell: “Volpe has been pretty solid at Triple-A, especially vs LHP. Good quality and quantity of contact and good swing decisions in a small sample Wouldn’t hate him being the 2B vs LHP in October”
@lakeeffectkvd: “bring this with you when you come back up here, AV.”
@AndrewJano24: “I honestly think this is really good for Volpe. Builds his confidence back up, and he can ease into learning second base, which will be much more fitted to his skillset. I’m sure he’ll make a good 2B for us next year”
@forrestjordan11: “Volpe should be on the big league team playing against left handed pitching”
