Shout-out to this Western Wayne little leaguer, who was part of tonight’s pregame @dickshouseofsport Field of Dreams team!”

Social Media Buzzing On Volpe
Volpe has been playing well over the last few weeks.
Here’s what people have been saying:
@concretecityccs: “Anthony Volpe over his last 5 games: 12-for-17 | 5 HR | 6 RBI | 4 SB HE IS RED HOT IN AAA 👀🔥”
@Conor_Green51: “George Lombard now has 2 hits in his last 6 games. Average down to .244. On top of the defensive miscues. Meanwhile Anthony Volpe has 10 home runs since August 7th down in Triple-A. Have to wonder if Volpe is the best option at shortstop come playoff time.”
@ChrisCoop_: “Daily Volpe AAA HR, his 10th since being sent down on August 7th. This one pulled to LF on a sweeper low and in at 101.1 mph / 26 deg / 360 ft Volpe entered today with a slash of: 108 PAs .287/.380/.660 (1.040 OPS) 9 HRs + 6 SBs 17 RBIs”
Volpe was picked in the 1st round of the 2019 MLB Draft.
At one point, he was among the top prospects in all of baseball.
The 25-year-old has spent part of four seasons at the MLB level.
