Anthony Volpe News
New York Yankees rookie shortstop Anthony Volpe has been dropped to ninth in the batting order on Saturday against right-hander Michael Wacha and the San Diego Padres. Volpe earned himself the starting shortstop gig to open the 2023 season because of an impressive spring training, but he's starting to really struggle at the plate. The 22-year-old is hitting an embarrassing .183 (17-for-93) with two doubles, a triple, five home runs, 12 RBI, five stolen bases, five walks and 33 strikeouts in 100 trips to the plate over 24 games. Expect Volpe to remain near the bottom of the Yankees' order until further notice, and if he continues to struggle at the dish, New York might have to consider sending him back to the minors.
New York Yankees rookie shortstop Anthony Volpe has been moved down to seventh in the batting order for Friday's showdown against the Tampa Bay Rays and right-handed opener Trevor Kelley. Volpe had been serving as the team's leadoff hitter since April 15, but a drop in production has earned him a drop down the Yankees' batting order. The 22-year-old is slumping to the tune of a 2-for-27 mark in his last six games, dropping his season slash line to .199/.292/.338 in his first 39 major-league contests. He also has three doubles, two triples, four home runs, 13 RBI, 11 stolen bases and 15 runs scored in 154 plate appearances. Fantasy managers may want to bench Volpe until he starts to turn it around. Second baseman Gleyber Torres is serving as the designated hitter and is in the leadoff spot on Friday.
New York Yankees shortstop Anthony Volpe launched his first career grand slam in Wednesday's 11-3 win over the Oakland A's. Volpe went 1-for-5 at the plate and increased his home run total to four on the season. The 22-year-old has had a rough stretch at the plate and is slashing .217/.266/.383 over the past 15 games. Although, his biggest contributions have been in the basepath and at shortstop. He has compiled 11 stolen bases and owns a 1.4 defensive WAR. Volpe is one of the most revered prospects in baseball and is expected to be the face of Yankees baseball in the foreseeable future. It's still quite early in his career, but the Yanks are hoping to see more consistency at the plate from the New York native.

Anthony Volpe, the No. 1 prospect in the New York Yankees farm system, is expected to debut in the pros at some point this season. The Yankees will mull over their current shortstop situation, consisting of Isiah Kiner-Falefa, but it may be up for grabs in Spring Training. Volpe packs in an overwhelming load of talent in his 5'11" frame. He's got all of the intangibles one can think of and is certainly a perennial talent. The 21-year-old spent most of his 2022 campaign in Double-A Somerset, boasting a .820 OPS with 18 HRs and 44 swipes. Not to mention his 11.15% walk rate. Volpe spent the remaining 22 games in Triple-A to see how his 2023 season may play out if he isn't bumped up. Steamer projects him to amass a .686 OPS and a .303 wOBA, but that could fluctuate depending on where he spends his season. It isn't a shocker that he's granted a 477.43 ADP, but it could slip a little if he gets an early promotion.
