Anthony Volpe is one of the hottest hitters in baseball. Here are three ways in which the Yankees shortstop has evolved after an uneven rookie season.
From being relegated to the nine-hole in his rookie year, to batting leadoff in his sophomore season, Anthony Volpe is showing us why he just might be the real deal. The promising shortstop has hit safely in 13 of 16 games this year, batting .373 with six stolen bases in that span. His 1.4 fWAR trails only Mookie Betts and José Altuve. Entering Tuesday's play, Volpe had struck out just once in his past 28 plate appearances.
While he's obviously made quick adjustments to become a more patient hitter, he has also transitioned seamlessly into a much more important role for the first-place Yankees. Just 11 games into the season, Volpe went from batting either sixth or seventh to the top of the lineup.
