There is this thing about Anthony Volpe — if you invite him to try to make your team, he relentlessly makes himself impossible to cut.
TAMPA — Then there were 22.
He survived and advanced through the first cut to 43. That group was split into Team Stars and Team Stripes for games and workouts from June 25-28. When that phase was over, players returned home and waited for a call. “I just decided I didn’t want to go to Panama and I didn’t want to try to win a gold medal without Anthony Volpe,” said that team’s manager, Jack Leggett. “The passion. The energy. The talent. You just want him on your team. He made himself easy to take.” The Yankees began spring training last month.
“It’s my first camp,” Volpe said. “I don’t know how it works. It [trying to make national U.S. teams] helps me now in recognizing I have no control over [making the decision]. I am at peace with whatever happens as long as I feel like I worked hard and put my best foot forward.” He has done that — as he did in 2018, when he was still young enough that he could have repeated on the 18-and-under team the following year, too, if he had not been drafted by the Yankees.
