Anthony Volpe News
New York Yankees shortstop Anthony Volpe is starting at the 6 and is in the leadoff spot on Wednesday versus left-hander Ryan Weathers and the visiting Miami Marlins. Volpe hasn't hit higher than sixth or seventh in the batting order to this point in 2024, but he'll flip with second baseman Gleyber Torres in this one (Torres is hitting sixth). The 22-year-old youngster held his own in his rookie campaign in 2023 and has been even better so far in his sophomore season, going 15-for-40 (.375) with three doubles, two home runs, six RBI, three stolen bases and 10 runs scored in the first 11 games of the year to earn a move up to the leadoff spot. Volpe will probably see more time atop the Yankees' batting order if he continues to rake, which would be music to fantasy managers' ears in all formats.
New York Yankees shortstop Anthony Volpe had an excellent game in Sunday's 8-3 win over the Toronto Blue Jays. He went 3-for-4 with two runs and two stolen bases in Sunday's victory. Volpe is off to a scorching hot start to the season, slashing .424/.486/.606 with three stolen bases while plating nine runs over nine games. A breakout season is on the horizon for Volpe, as he is making better contact and striking out less thus far in 2024. Fantasy managers can expect Volpe to steal bases and plate runs for a loaded New York Yankees offense. Look for Volpe to continue his hot hitting in a three-game series against a weakened Miami Marlins rotation starting Monday.
New York Yankees shortstop Anthony Volpe was clearly feeling better on Monday after he was scratched from Sunday's lineup with a stomach illness. In the 5-2 win over the Arizona Diamondbacks, the young shortstop went 4-for-4 with two doubles, an RBI and two runs scored. It was the 22-year-old's second multi-hit game of the 2024 season and his fourth extra-base hit in his last three games. While it would be nicer if the former first-rounder (30th overall) were hitting higher in the Yankees' lineup, fantasy managers can't really complain with the second-year player's production out of the gates. Through four games, he's gone 8-for-14 (.571) with a homer, three RBI and a team-leading five runs scored in 18 plate appearances.

New York Yankees shortstop Anthony Volpe is coming off a 20/20 season in his rookie year. While that's nothing to get upset over, it wasn't the most rewarding season for Volpe and fantasy managers. There are no excuses to be made for a .209/.283/.383 slash line. It was just an overall poor performance on his part. In the times Volpe was bad, it was tumultuous. And when he was good, it wasn't good enough to carry his season. The 22-year-old was probably a year ahead of schedule with his MLB debut and you wouldn't be judged if you wanted to throw away his 2023 stats. If you're looking for positives, however, they were there. His 9% barrel percent, 88.7 exit velocity, 14.2-degree launch angle, and 43% hard-hit percent were all above league average. As were his walk rate and sweet spot percentage. The biggest hole in the youngster's game is his strikeouts. His 27.8% K-rate put him in the bottom 11% in that category. His 179.5 ADP doesn't match his RotoBaller ranking at 119 and you could get good value from him at that draft spot. If he doesn't improve his strikeouts, it could be a long season for fantasy managers.
