New York Yankees top prospect Anthony Volpe has been turning heads at spring training already, and legend Willie Randolph has some Hall of Fame comparisons.
"You have a young player who’s focused on getting better and focused on how to learn how to play the game. That’s stuff that really excites me."
Hitting coach Dillon Lawson also spoke to Volpe’s talent, saying,"He’s exactly what we all thought he would be." Fans who have been watching the Yankees this spring are starting to notice it as well. Volpe has gone 4 for 11 with three runs scored, one double and his first home run that was hit against the Pittsburgh Pirates on Thursday.
