Volpe, 21, is the No. 5 prospect in all of baseball and has positioned himself as the front-runner for the starting shortstop job after a great spring training. He is slashing .314/.417/.647 with a 1.064 OPS in 17 games.
Fans have been clamoring for the youngster to make the Opening Day roster for the last few weeks.
