Seemingly whenever it feels as if Anthony Volpe is lost, he finds himself again.
Through his first 78 major league games, Anthony Volpe has shown a tendency to swing and miss — and a tendency to bounce back.On Sunday, Volpe swung hard for a pair of strikeouts against Texas’ Nathan Eovaldi, which brought him to 11 punchouts in his past 24 plate appearances.But in Volpe’s third at-bat, he ignored any lingering frustration from his first two.
“You got to be able to deal with whatever’s going on previously. Next play is most important, right?” In the 11 games with the tweaked stance, Volpe has hit .258 and posted a .378 on-base percentage, his ability to walk compensating for a continued inability to make consistent contact. Which is why Sunday’s one-inning save, in which King only allowed a single and struck out two, was so encouraging for the Yankees.
