After Volpe was delegated, his hitting skills in Triple-A became more and more popular. He just won the International League Player of the Week. From September 1st to 6th, US time, he hit 11 hits in 21 at-bats, with a batting average of 0.524. He accumulated 3 doubles, 3 home runs, and 6 RBIs; in addition, Volpe also served as a second baseman in 3A who had never had experience in the past. He served 162.1 innings in 3A this season, only made one error, and had a fielding percentage of 0.987.
Now that he has returned to the major leagues, Volpe will get a chance to play at second base this time. He will serve as the ninth starting second baseman against the Rockies at home today. Regarding the training in 3A during this period, Volpe said frankly: "I learned a lot from this period. I can try different things every day and feel what works. I thought to myself, if an opportunity like this really arises in the future, these things can be transferred to the major leagues. So during that period, I kept trying, making mistakes, and then adjusting."
Yankees head coach Aaron Boone is also very confident in Volp guarding second base. "From all the reports received so far, his performance is very good and he handles double plays very smoothly. I am not surprised." Regarding his blow, Boone said bluntly: "We have always believed that he is very capable of becoming an excellent offensive player."
