Anthony Volpe emerging as ‘stud on both sides of the ball’ vital to surging Yankees’ success
NY Post
Anthony Volpe lost his 21-game hitting streak, which had put him into select company, a little over halfway through the Yankees’ West Coast trip.
But it didn’t take a stat putting him in the same sentence as Joe DiMaggio to prove what kind of impact Volpe has been making on the Yankees while continuing to take a step forward in his second year in the big leagues.
“He’s playing like a stud on both sides of the ball,” manager Aaron Boone said. “Just turning into a really special player.”
Aaron Judge and Juan Soto garnered most of the attention during the 10-day, nine-game trip through California in which the Yankees went 7-2 to enter Monday with the best record in baseball.
But the hitter in front of them was right in the thick of things as well, as Volpe consistently produced from the top of the lineup to stay hot.
The 23-year-old shortstop capped off the trip by going 2-for-5 with a clutch RBI triple that helped fuel the Yankees’ ninth-inning comeback win over the Giants on Sunday.
Just to get the formalities out of the way, Juan Soto officially declined the qualifying offer by Tuesday’s deadline.
