He dashes the couple-dozen steps to the indoor cage, where he takes his first batting practice of the day.The bell sounds signaling the end of second period at the Delbarton School. As Volpe laces up his cleats, Matt Hyde, the Yankees’ Northeast area scout who played a large part in drafting and signing Volpe out of high school, approaches, and the two share a hug.Volpe loosens up with Josh Donaldson, the two having a catch behind the first-base line.
After 10 minutes, Volpe tries to make his way to the safety of the clubhouse, but dozens of media members and cameras intercept him, asking if he can answer questions for a few minutes.About 11 a.m.: Once word spread that Volpe made the club out of camp, there was a rush to Ticketmaster for some, while Isabelle Volpe, his mother, organized ticket-acquiring for others.“It’s surreal because our whole family, we’re Yankees fans. Anthony’s great-grandfather — we’re all Yankee fans,” said Granello, who took the train from her Brooklyn home and invited a reporter over for meatballs. ”We’re gonna cry.”“He’s genuine. He’s caring.
Volpe works the count full, and several in his family’s cheering section plead for the fans to get louder. He looks at ball four, and there is literal jumping for joy in the section.The speedy Volpe induces a pickoff attempt from Giants ace Logan Webb — while Volpe is standing on the base.
