The middle infield for the New York Yankees is undoubtedly in flux this spring training, especially after Anthony Volpe’s performances. The team’s top prospect has been lights out this spring at 21 years old, enjoying 28 at-bats. He’s posted nine hits, six runs, two homers, two RBIs, and stolen three bases. In addition, he’s slashing .321/.424/1.103.
It will take a Herculean effort to keep Volpe down in the minor-league system for too long, even if the Yankees are confident that Gleyber Torres can compound his success after a bounce-back 2022 campaign.
