Former MLB manager thinks Yankees should look to Mets for answers on Anthony Volpe
“I really am, but I think there’s got to be some consideration and thought or talking about him possibly going back down, just like they did with Alvarez with the Mets.”In Triple-A, Alvarez abandoned his completely revamped swing and returned to what made him the catcher who led the National League with 23 home runs in 2023.
. It resulted in him going 20-for-67 while posting a 1.233 OPS behind 11 home runs and 24 RBIs in 19 games. In two games against the Los Angeles Angels this week, Alvarez went 2-for-6 with a double, a home run, and two RBIs. He delivered the game-winning hit on Monday and then drilled a 374-footer into the seats in left field to tie the game on Tuesday. Alvarez’s demotion worked in his and the Mets’ favor, and Maddon feels the same is possible for the Yankees. “The guy looks like he needs to reset a little bit mentally as much as anything,” Maddon continued. “For me, slow the game down, get your fundamentals back, back together, breathe again, and in the meantime, just get somebody to catch the ball.” Volpe is tied with the lowest batting average with a minimum of 350 plate appearances in MLB. He’s committed the most errors in the AL and ranks 22nd of 25 shortstops in outs above average with a minimum of 800 innings.Athletics vs. Astros FREE LIVE STREAM : Watch MLB game online | Time, TV ChannelMLB targets India as next baseball recruitment hotspot in 2025 Thank you for relying on us to provide the journalism you can trust.
