The dawn of the Anthony Volpe Era seems to be the crest of a wave. Young players like Volpe and Oswaldo Cabrera are now Yankees regulars, while Oswald Peraza awaits at Triple-A Scranton, and Jhony Brito has entered the public consciousness by taking the place of Luis Severino in the major league rotation. Jasson Domínguez’s loud performance in spring training has reignited hope that his future will arrive faster than we thought, and Andrés Chaparro showed in the last month that his bat is not a fluke.
There is a special enthusiasm for young players right now, and the coming minor league season offers the opportunity for more players to join the party.
