Anthony Volpe will play shortstop for the Yankees at some point in 2023. It is just a question of when the New Jersey native makes his long-anticipated MLB debut.
It is very possible that Volpe could crack the Yankees’ Opening Day lineup. He’s been playing shortstop regularly in spring training games and regularly operates out of the leadoff spot. Volpe has also performed well, batting .297 with a pair of home runs and a .990 OPS in 13 spring training games. But then again, he is 21 and has only played in a handful of Triple-A games.
