Summary
New York Yankees shortstop Anthony Volpe, at just 23, is in his third MLB season, but concerns about his performance are growing. After an impressive rookie year with 21 homers but a low .209 batting average, Volpe improved to a .243 average and 12 homers in his second season. In 2025, he has shown promise with seven extra-base hits and a .947 OPS with runners in scoring position, but if he doesn’t continue to progress, his job security may be at risk heading into 2026.
