The rise of New York Yankees rookie shortstop, Anthony Volpe, to the big leagues this season has sparked widespread debate and discussion.
The Second Base Debate: Volpe’s Ideal Position With the Yankees?
There’s a growing sentiment advocating for Volpe’s transition to second base full-time. Proponents believe his arm would be better suited there, providing the Yankees with a sustainable solution.
Given the influx of high-profile defensive shortstop prospects, such as Oswald Peraza, some argue for him to occupy the shortstop spot until newer talents make their MLB debut. While future prospects like Trey Sweeney and Roderick Arias are noteworthy, many overlook Volpe’s commendable defensive performance this season.
