Anthony Volpe’s combination of athleticism and intelligence was on display on the final play of the Yankees’ win Friday night.
As much as the Yankees have raved about Anthony Volpe’s physical ability since they drafted him in the first round out of high school in 2019, they’ve been just as impressed with his baseball IQ.5-4 win over the Royals on Friday nightWith the tying run on second base and two out in the top of the ninth, Volpe ranged to his right to make a nice stop of a Bobby Witt Jr. grounder.
Third base umpire Jordan Baker initially called Waters safe, but the normally stoic LeMahieu made it clear he thought he tagged him. “That was a heads-up play,’’ Boone said. “With Witt running, you’re not throwing him out at first, [so to have] the wherewithal [to throw to third] and DJ also getting in position to make that play, it was a big-time play.”
“I thought he was safe,’’ Volpe said. “[The umpire] had a pretty good view [and] I didn’t know if we could challenge since we had just challenged before. I was surprised and happy when they put it on the board.”
