If the scouts are right about Anthony Volpe, expected far and wide to have a lengthy career near the top of a big league lineup, then the archival footage of Saturday’s second inning may prove to be a valuable reference point years down the road.
The future is indeed bright for the 21-year-old, who is trying to keep his feet planted firmly in the present. The organization’s top prospect and the No. 5 prospect in all of baseball according to MLB Pipeline, Volpe collected his first and second Major League hits in the Yankees’ 7-5 loss to the Giants at Yankee Stadium.
“It’s been a whirlwind, but the best type of whirlwind,” Volpe said. “It’s been amazing for me to spend this time with my teammates, my family and my close friends. It’s cool for me, but it’s also even better that I’m able to experience it with them.”
