Somerset Patriots shortstop Anthony Volpe, the New York Yankees' top-ranked prospect, turned 21 on Thursday.
Volpe was particularly proud of his opposite-field triple.
“I’m glad I didn’t miss that one,” said Volpe. “It’s awesome to come up in those situations and get good pitches to hit. ... I felt great. Just putting good swings on good pitches. I felt that way at the end of last week, just taking good pitches and really seeing it so [I have] a lot of confidence going forward.”
Despite Thursday’s success, Volpe is hitting just .200 in 16 games this season with the Patriots. But In his last seven games, Volpe has seven base hits, six RBI, eight walks and five stolen bases.
