Anthony Volpe, the 24-year-old shortstop for the New York Yankees, has faced scrutiny from fans due to comparisons with Derek Jeter and fellow shortstops in his draft class. However, as he enters Year 3, he shows signs of improvement, boasting a .244 batting average and a .763 OPS. Recently, his performance has notably improved, with a .284 average and .838 OPS over the last 27 games, demonstrating his potential for more consistency and run production, which has been lacking in previous seasons.
No matter what Anthony Volpe does, he seems to frustrate a certain portion of the Yankees fan base. Perhaps that is because he is not Derek Jeter.
The 24-year-old has settled into a solid stretch early in Year 3, offering some promise of the kind of consistency he has largely been missing during his time with the Yankees.
Entering Tuesday, Volpe was batting .244 with a .763 OPS and 115 WRC+ - 15 percent better than league average.
In his past 27 games, he had hit .284 (29-for-102) with a .838 OPS, one of the longer stretches of his career with that kind of sustained production.
