Player Outlook
Anthony Volpe was a disappointment in his sophomore season, losing more than a third of his homers despite nearly 90 more plate appearances on the season. His defense deservedly keeps him in the lineup every day, and his speed somehow allowed him to accumulate half of his plate appearances in the leadoff spot despite a .293 OBP both overall as well as when he hit first in the lineup. Who are we to judge since the club made it to the World Series? We only bring it up because Volpe's run scoring total will likely decline if the Yankees find a better fit for leadoff, as Volpe's speed makes him a better fit to lead off a 1980's Yankee lineup than it does a modern day one. That would leave us with his steals as his most redeeming quality, and 12 of those came from the leadoff spot. Volpe did improve his strikeout rate, yet it, his walk rate and his ability to lay off pitches out of the zone all remain below league average. Beware the Yankee tariff, because the pinstripes make this player appear better than he actually is at this moment.

  • Yankees' Anthony Volpe: Swats third spring homer

    Rotowire
    Volpe went 2-for-3 with a solo home run in Thursday's Grapefruit League win over the Orioles. Volpe went deep to left-center field in the sixth inning. The 23-year-old is tied for third on the Yankees with three long balls this spring and is tied for the team lead with three stolen bases. Volpe is batting just .200 in spring play, but he's locked in as New York's primary shortstop and appears slated to hit in the middle of the order on a near-everyday basis.

  • Yankees' Anthony Volpe: Playing in spring opener

    Rotowire
    Volpe is scheduled to start Friday in the Yankees' Grapefruit League opener versus the Rays, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports. Aside from catcher Austin Wells, right fielder Aaron Judge and injured designated hitter Giancarlo Stanton (elbow), the Yankees are expected to roll out a starting nine of their projected Opening Day starters in the first game of the exhibition slate. Volpe's placement in the lineup will be one to watch throughout the spring, as he had served as the Yankees' primary leadoff man leading up to the All-Star break last season before slotting between the fifth and ninth spot throughout the second half while Gleyber Torres ultimately took over as the team's table setter. Torres and last season's No. 2 hitter, Juan Soto, have since moved elsewhere in free agency, but their departures won't necessarily clear the way for Volpe to reclaim a spot atop the lineup. While Volpe offers excellent speed in the leadoff role, his .288 on-base percentage over 319 career games has made him a less palatable option. He'll at least be heading into the spring with some momentum following a strong playoff run this past fall in which he produced a .286/.407/.408 slash line to go with five steals in five attempts over 14 games, but Volpe will need to build off that small sample during the Grapefruit League to secure a prominent spot in the batting order.

  • Yankees' Anthony Volpe: Smacks Game 4 grand slam

    Rotowire
    Volpe went 2-for-3 with a grand slam and a walk in Tuesday's 11-4 win over the Dodgers in Game 4 of the World Series. Volpe's third-inning grand slam turned the tide for the Yankees and helped prevent a World Series sweep. Gleyber Torres and Austin Wells added additional home runs as the Yankees cruised to a big win. New York will attempt to stay alive and force a return to Los Angeles with a win in Game 5.

  • Yankees' Anthony Volpe: Homers, steals base in win

    Rotowire
    Volpe went 1-for-4 with a two-run homer, a walk and a stolen base in Saturday's win over the Athletics. Volpe slugged a leadoff homer in his first at-bat to increase New York's lead to three runs and drew a free pass his second time around before swiping his 27th bag of the campaign. The shortstop has now tallied two RBI in back-to-back contests while also hitting safely in three straight. The long ball was his 12th of the campaign and his first since Aug. 3 against the Blue Jays.

  • Yankees' Anthony Volpe: Not starting Tuesday

    Rotowire
    Yankees manager Aaron Boone said on the "Talkin' Yanks" podcast by Jomboy Media that Volpe will not be in the lineup for Tuesday's game in Seattle. Oswaldo Cabrera will draw the start at shortstop while Volpe gets a break. Volpe is slashing a woeful .163/.177/.163 with a 17:1 K:BB over 14 contests so far in September.

  • Yankees' Anthony Volpe: Rare day off Monday

    Rotowire

  • Yankees' Anthony Volpe: Notches 25th steal

    Rotowire
    Volpe went 2-for-4 with a stolen base in a loss to the Nationals on Wednesday. The Yankees were mostly quieted by MacKenzie Gore and a trio of Washington relievers, but Volpe did well in collecting a pair of hits. The shortstop also recorded a stolen base, giving him 25 on the season -- one more than he recorded as a rookie last year. In additional to the theft total, Volpe has improved his batting average from .209 to .252 and reduced his strikeout rate from 27.8 percent to 22.0 percent, though he's also displayed less power, as he has just 11 homers through 133 games after going deep 21 times in 159 contests in 2023.

  • Yankees' Anthony Volpe: Reaches three times, swipes bag

    Rotowire
    Volpe went 1-for-2 with a double, two walks, a run and a stolen base against Cleveland in Thursday's 6-0 victory. Volpe went through an ugly 2-for-34, 14-strikeout stretch at the plate from Aug. 7 to Aug. 16, but he's since bounced back with a five-game hitting streak. During the streak, he's gone 6-for-18 and has belted a double in each of his past three contests. Volpe also has three thefts in his past three games and is up to 23 stolen bases on the season, one shy of his total as a rookie last year.

  • Yankees' Anthony Volpe: Swipes two bags Tuesday

    Rotowire
    Volpe went 2-for-4 with a double, a walk, an RBI and two stolen bases in Tuesday's extra-innings loss to Cleveland. Volpe notched one of two multi-hit efforts for the Yankees in the contest and reached base a third time on a walk. The shortstop took advantage of his trips to the basepaths with his fourth multi-steal performance of the campaign. Volpe has 22 steals on the season, two short of the total he tallied over 159 games as a rookie last year.

  • Yankees' Anthony Volpe: X-rays clean

    Rotowire
    Volpe (foot) underwent X-rays on his left foot, which came back clean following Thursday's 9-4 loss to the Angels, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports. Volpe was forced to leave Thursday's contest in the eighth inning after dealing with foot pain stemming from a foul ball in the second frame. The shortstop avoided any fractures and is dealing with a contusion ahead of Friday's series opener at home against the Rangers. Manager Aaron Boone is uncertain if Volpe will be able to go Friday, but he can be considered day-to-day for the time being.

  • Yankees' Anthony Volpe: Homers again in win

    Rotowire
    Volpe went 2-for-4 with a home run and three RBI in Saturday's 8-3 win over the Blue Jays. Volpe hit a two-run home run in the fifth inning and added an RBI single in the seventh. The shortstop is enjoying an eight-game hit streak in which he has homered four times and logged five multi-hit efforts. On the season, he is batting .261 with 11 homers, 44 RBI, 72 runs scored and 19 steals across 500 plate appearances.

  • Yankees' Anthony Volpe: Posts another multi-hit effort

    Rotowire
    Volpe went 2-for-5 with a solo home run, an additional run and a stolen base in Friday's loss to the Red Sox. Volpe put the Yankees on the board in the second inning with a solo shot to center field and added a single in the fifth. The shortstop has three multi-hit performances across his past four games and has hit safely in seven of his past eight contests. Over that stretch, he's batting .344 with two home runs, five RBI, five runs and three stolen bases.

  • Yankees' Anthony Volpe: Collects three RBI in win

    Rotowire
    Volpe went 2-for-4 with a double and three RBI in Friday's 6-1 win versus Tampa Bay. The New York shortstop cracked a bases-clearing double in the third inning to extend the Yankees' lead to 4-0. This performance marks Volpe's third three-RBI game of the season. Perhaps this game's success will spur the 23-year-old on to a better second half, as he entered the evening hitting a miserable .143 (12-for-84) with eight runs scored and five RBI over his previous 20 games.

  • Yankees' Anthony Volpe: Tallies three hits Wednesday

    Rotowire
    Volpe went 3-for-4 with a double, a walk and two runs Wednesday in an extra-inning loss to Baltimore. Volpe set the table well out of the leadoff spot, reaching base four times and notching his sixth effort of at least three hits this season. The second-year shortstop came up with a clutch hit in the ninth inning, doubling to left field and later coming home to score the game-tying run on a Giancarlo Stanton single. Volpe had been struggling coming into Wednesday, going 3-for-23 with seven strikeouts over his previous five contests.

  • Yankees' Anthony Volpe: Swipes two bags in win

    Rotowire
    Volpe went 1-for-5 with a run and two stolen bases Friday in an 8-1 victory versus the Red Sox. Volpe made the most of his fifth-inning single, as he proceeded to steal both second and third base before coming home on an Alex Verdugo double. The second-year shortstop is up to 15 thefts (on 18 attempts) this season, tied for 13th in the league. Volpe's power is down in comparison to his rookie campaign, but he's reduced his strikeout rate from 27.8 percent to 21.3 percent, which has helped produce a much-improved .271/.329/.414 slash line.

    Rotowire
    Volpe went 2-for-5 with a run and a stolen base Wednesday against Kansas City in an 11-5 victory. Volpe led off the game with a single and then stole second base before later coming around to score. The theft was his 13th of the campaign, pushing him past the halfway point as he seeks to surpass last season's total of 24 steals. Volpe has reached base at a much higher clip this season -- he's currently posting a .335 OBP compared to last year's .283 mark.

  • Yankees' Anthony Volpe: Hitting streak reaches 19

    Rotowire
    Volpe went 1-for-3 with a walk, a steal and a run scored in Sunday's loss to the Padres. Volpe extended his hitting streak to 19 games with a single in the sixth inning. He would then steal second and come around to score off a Juan Soto double to open up the scoring and force Joe Musgrove out of the game. His hit streak is the longest by a Yankee since Derek Jeter in 2012. Volpe is currently tied for sixth in the American League with 61 hits and tied for fifth with 11 steals. The 23-year-old has been thriving in the leadoff spot for the majority of the season and is now slashing .282/.355/.435 with 18 extra-base hits, 23 RBI, 36 runs and a 22:52 BB:K in 244 plate appearances.

  • Yankees' Anthony Volpe: Reaches double-digit steals

    Rotowire
    Volpe went 2-for-5 with a double, a run and a stolen base against the Mariners in Thursday's 5-0 victory. Volpe led off the seventh inning with a double, stole third base and subsequently scored on a Juan Soto single. It was the 10th theft in 12 tries for Volpe, who has now reached double-digit steals in each of his first two MLB campaigns. The shortstop is on pace to exceed last year's numbers in most categories except power -- he has six homers through 51 contests after going deep 21 times in 159 games last season -- and his .278/.349/.429 slash line highlights his substantial growth at the plate.

    Rotowire
    Volpe went 2-for-5 with a two-run home run in a loss to the Astros on Thursday. Volpe accounted for New York's first scores with a two-run blast to right field in the third inning. It was his second homer in his past three contests following a 25-game stretch during which he went deep just once. Volpe is still batting just .200 through eight games in May, but he's held onto the leadoff spot, batting first in the order in all of the Yankees' contests so far this month.
