Knock, knock, knock.
Do you hear that?
Knock, knock, knock.
It’s a noise we’ve heard twice in the past month, once for Oswaldo Cabrera, once for Oswald Peraza.
Knock, knock, knock.
That’s the sound of Anthony Volpe, the Yankees’ top prospect and the fifth-ranked prospect in baseball, knocking on the door of the major leagues. Promoted to Scranton/Wilkes-Barre after Oswald Peraza received the call to The Show, Volpe struck out in two of his first three plate appearances at the Triple-A level. Since then, however, he’s gone 11-for-22 with two home runs, two doubles, and two stolen bases, working three walks and striking out just twice.
