The Yankees hope there is some Gunnar Henderson in Anthony Volpe’s future.
Henderson, who entered the year as a top infield prospect, struggled for two months this season before getting accustomed to major league pitching and breaking out.Henderson grew up in Alabama and Volpe in New Jersey, but they overlapped plenty in showcase games, from Perfect Game to the Under Armour All-America Game, and competed for spots on national teams.
“And [I] learned how they were going to pitch me, and then what I did best, and kind of combat [their pitching].”Entering play Sunday, Henderson’s .877 OPS since June 1 was the 33rd best in all of baseball in the span, right behind Braves star Austin Riley.“I haven’t figured it out,” Henderson said with a laugh. “But I’m trying to.”As is Volpe, who has not yet reached the same breakthrough.
He and the club are still waiting for a Henderson-like epiphany, though, as Volpe learns more about major league pitching.
