New York Yankees shortstop Anthony Volpe is having a strong campaign in year-two. Will it be enough to get the nod to start the All-Star Game for the AL next month?
This would be 23-year-old Anthony Volpe, who has made a significant jump in his performance in his second-year in the Bronx.
But as good as Volpe has been in 2024, the AL has a pair of superstar shortstops in Bobby Witt Jr. of the Kansas City Royals and Gunnar Henderson of the East division rival Baltimore Orioles. "He definitely needs to be celebrated for what he's doing. Both offensively and defensively," Rosenthal said of Volpe on"Now, Volpe is not Witt Jr. or Henderson. Those are two of the brightest lights in the game right now. He is though, a really good player."
In 68 games played this season, Volpe is slashing .274/.334/.423 with a .757 OPS, seven home runs and 25 RBIs to go along with 12 stolen bases. The speedy Volpe posted a 20-20 season as a rookie last year, and has the opportunity to match these numbers when all is said and done in 2024.
