Anthony Volpe Needs Confidence Amid 2025 Season Of Defensive Struggles
NEW YORK, NEW YORK - JULY 05: Anthony Volpe #11 of the New York Yankees in action against the New ... More York Mets at Citi Field on July 05, 2025 in New York City. The Mets defeated the Yankees 12-6. (Photo by) New York Yankees shortstop Anthony Volpe has been subjected to intense criticism amid defensive regression and offensive inconsistencies throughout the 2025 regular season. Conversations regarding torpedo bats and improvements in Volpe's barrel percentage have quickly subsided as he needs a mental reset while focusing on baseball fundamentals. The 24-year-old shortstop is in the middle of his third major league season as there is ample time for growth and maturity. Volpe's struggles are intensified due to the prominence of his defensive position and the standard of excellence that has been established when it comes to leadership and production. While athleticism and maximum effort are always evident with Volpe, the Yankees desperately need stability at shortstop right now instead of below-average performances accompanied by ongoing concerns at third base. A first-round pick (30th overall) by the Yankees in Major League Baseball's 2019 draft out of Delbarton School in New Jersey, Volpe received a $2,740,300 signing bonus which was $374,800 above the assigned value. The Yankees have a complicated history with first-round selections in Major League Baseball's draft as not everyone has been catcher Thurman Munson, shortstop Derek Jeter and right fielder Aaron Judge. There have been a few cautionary tales, missed opportunities and questions regarding the development of pitchers. Most notably, right-handed pitcher Joba Chamberlain and the rules that were implemented to manage his workload. Anthony Volpe And Immediate Defensive Excellence Volpe won the 2023 American League Gold Glove Award in his rookie season. According to FanGraphs, only Francisco Lindor of the New York Mets played more innings at shortstop (1,365.1) than Volpe (1,346.2) as his excellence was highlighted by the advanced metric defensive runs saved (DRS). Volpe's 15 DRS was third-best among major league shortstops. Not only did he win the award over finalists Carlos Correa of the Minnesota Twins and Corey Seager of the Texas Rangers, but Volpe was the youngest shortstop to achieve this feat at 22 years and 156 days old on the final day of the 2023 regular season according to Bryan Hoch of The chart examines Anthony Volpe's durability and performance using six advanced defensive metrics ... More over the past three seasons (2023-Present). Volpe is in a no-win situation given how he has already demonstrated an aptitude for playing defense at an elite level. Sometimes, young ball players take a step backward as development rarely occurs in a linear fashion. In Volpe's case, he is confronting adversity in an unforgiving environment with enormous expectations. One could say Volpe is a product of his surroundings given how the Yankees have mastered the art of inconsistency and are prone to atrocious displays of defense. The Yankees have made 12 errors in 10 ball games against the Toronto Blue Jays, a ball club that plays an intelligent brand of baseball and places pressure on an opponent's defense. Aaron Boone, manager of the Yankees, has been supportive of Volpe even as he has become increasingly frustrated with questions from the media regarding his shortstop's defensive regression. 'He's still a top shortstop. He hasn't made a few plays that has generated a lot of noise,' said Boone after a recent loss to the Blue Jays who are currently in first place in the American League East. While Boone has publicly defended Volpe, it's hard to accept that defensive lapses over an extended period are merely noise when reality poses a problem. Anthony Volpe And Current Defensive Struggles Through the conclusion of the three-game series against the Blue Jays ending on July 23rd, advanced metrics such as defensive runs saved (DRS), outs above average (OAA), fielding run value (FRV) and runs above average (RAA) portray an unflattering tale of Volpe's season. In 863.2 innings over 101 ball games, Volpe has posted a 1 DRS, -4 OAA, -2 FRV and -3 RAA according to FanGraphs. He is tied with shortstop Willy Adames of the San Francisco Giants and shortstop Elly De La Cruz of the Cincinnati Reds for the second-most errors (13) in Major League Baseball. While well below Volpe's standards, the matter becomes an area of even greater concern given how third base has been a lingering liability for the Yankees. Presently, the Yankees are seeing defensive production in the form of -1 DRS, -4 OAA, -3 FRV and -3 RAA from third base which doesn't bode well for the left side of the infield. Besides working with infield coach Travis Chapman on ways to improve accuracy and footwork, Volpe must unlock a mindset that personified the greatness of Jeter. It all begins with learning how to slow down a ball game in high leverage situations. Volpe possesses a tenacious work ethic, but it appears as if everything is done at a high-octane speed which adversely affects his decision making and performance. Instead of exuding confidence and trust in his instincts, Volpe is unsure of himself as evident in fielding ground balls on one knee. He appears to be unsettled, out of sync and acts with a sense of urgency. The chart uses seven advanced offensive metrics to evaluate Anthony Volpe's performance in ... More comparison to the major league statistics at the shortstop position. While regression has temporarily replaced growth when it comes to assessing Volpe's current performance, it is worth noting that he has been a durable, everyday ball player since his March 2023 major league debut against the San Francisco Giants. According to FanGraphs, there have only been four shortstops who have played at least 3,500 innings at the position beginning in 2023 and running through Volpe's last ball game versus the Blue Jays. In fact, only two ball players have played more innings than Volpe (3,627.0) during this period: first baseman Matt Olson (3,764.0) of the Atlanta Braves and second baseman Marcus Semien (3,683.1) of the Texas Rangers. According to Cot's Baseball Contracts, Volpe is currently earning $879,100 and will be arbitration-eligible for the first time at season's end. Anthony Volpe has experienced a few setbacks in terms of performance, but he shouldn't be a scapegoat for the roster deficiencies the New York Yankees have failed to address in recent years. As power in the American League East has quickly shifted in favor of the Toronto Blue Jays, don't expect Major League Baseball's upcoming trade deadline to serve as an antidote when attempting to cure all the Yankees' ailments. Volpe is not a polished gem as he is still developing under the intense pressure of playing in New York. Instead of focusing on Volpe's regression, maybe the time has come for a deeper dialogue on how the Yankees are failing when it comes to developing talent.

Aaron Judge is the world's best hitter. He's just as valuable to Yankees as a hitting coach
NEW YORK — The room is small, with several rows of long white desks and roller chairs, and a large projection screen in the back. It's steps away from the home clubhouse at Yankee Stadium, a ballpark where nearly every wall serves as a screaming billboard for the club's storied past — yet the space feels sparse, like a classroom at a community college. Advertisement Fitting, since it's where Aaron Judge, the son of high school teachers, does some of his best work off the field. While Judge may be the best hitter in baseball, his teammates say his behind-the-scenes presence in daily hitters meetings — from the information he offers to the atmosphere he cultivates — is a key differentiator for the New York Yankees, owners of the third-best offense in MLB in terms of runs scored. It's one thing to watch Judge. But to get a look inside his brain? 'It's cool to see what his process is, what he thinks about when he's hitting,' catcher J.C. Escarra said. 'More often than not,' catcher and first baseman Ben Rice said, 'he's got something to say.' Judge, always wary of self-congratulation, downplayed his contributions. 'I want everybody collaborating,' he said. 'Everybody just talking.' But even hitting coach James Rowson, who runs the meetings, called Judge's contributions 'invaluable.' 'He brings so much to the table,' Rowson said. Lately, it hasn't been pretty for the Yankees, who have gone 14-21 over their past 35 games while falling four games back in the American League East as of Thursday. But to get out of it, they're going to need to come together, and often for the Yankees that begins in their hitters meetings. For a typical night game, the Yankees' hitters meetings begin 3 1/2 hours before first pitch. The room is strategically located at the heart of the team's work area. It's directly across from the entrance to the clubhouse and just steps away from the batting cages and nutrition area, which features a tall cooler filled with sports drinks and shelves with MLB-approved supplements. Judge always sits somewhere in the middle. His teammates pile in around him, some holding iPads packed with statistics and videos, others gripping paper plates filled with the gourmet pregame spread. Rowson provides the opening remarks, and his assistants Pat Roessler and Casey Dykes offer analysis along the way. Sometimes manager Aaron Boone and other coaches attend. Advertisement Judge observes with laser focus, teammates say. Despite leading the league in so many major offensive categories, including batting average (.345) and OPS (1.170), he knows he has to be as prepared as anybody around him, especially as he continues to grow into his Yankees captaincy, now in its third season. 'The homework he does is incredible,' Rowson said. 'He comes to a hitters meeting already informed, but he also comes to get more. He knows what he's trying to do, and then he wanted to hear other guys and what their plans may be. There's a lot of communication.' He also knows when to lend a hand and when to step back. 'Sometimes, it's, 'Let me speak up,'' Goldschmidt said of Judge. 'Sometimes, it's, 'Let me just boost the morale of the team or the confidence.'' Long gone are the days when players would stroll into the clubhouses a few hours before the game, take batting practice on the field and consider themselves ready for first pitch. Most teams lay out schedules that include multiple pregame meetings, and the Yankees are no different. Every series, Yankees relievers go over the other team's hitters together. Every day, the starting pitcher meets with the catchers and coaches to plan for that game's start. The hitters hold a meeting to discuss the entire upcoming series before it starts, and then they have another meeting before every game. The hitters meetings typically start on a light note. Moments before it begins, a music video plays on the projector, and the volume is cranked up. Before a recent weekday game, it was 'Shake Ya Tailfeather' by Murphy Lee. 'It keeps guys loose,' Rowson said. 'Get them to easygoing. Part of coming out here every day and going through the grind is having fun. You've got to want to show up every day.' How deep Rowson dives into the opponent depends on what he feels the Yankees need to know. He'll litter his presentations with heat maps, pitch percentages and video clips, but he'll mix in questions designed to get the hitters talking to each other. Advertisement 'A good hitters meeting is not just all the analytical numbers (Rowson) has,' second baseman Jazz Chisholm Jr. said, 'but hearing from guys who faced (the pitcher) and just speaking on what they see, how the ball moves, the way that guy has attacked guys in the past.' When the meeting finishes, they're free to continue their pregame preparation, which usually includes on-field batting practice approximately 2 1/2 hours before the game. 'Everyone is going to need something different,' Goldschmidt said. 'I may not want or need what Judgey wants or what maybe other guys want.' 'They construct their own plans,' Rowson said. 'Every human takes in information differently. It's about learning what you need. Nobody can take in everything.' For Judge, it's 'just a good opportunity for us to share little things.' He also leans on experience. Entering Friday, Judge had faced 1,013 pitchers over his 10-year career, according to Baseball Reference. He had gotten at least one hit against 567 of them. 'Pretty much anyone we face,' Rice said, 'he's faced before or he's seen someone similar at the minimum. He's usually got something to offer up. It's never anything crazy. He does a good job simplifying, saying something that everyone can digest.' Goldschmidt, who ranks fourth among active players in career hits, said it's 'crazy' to think that Judge can be as good as he is and still actively want to help those around him all the time. 'It's so hard to perform individually, especially at his expectation level,' Goldschmidt said. 'To be able to do it individually, and still be able to impact others around you is another layer that makes it even tougher. He does a really good job of that.' Judge said he gets as much out of the meetings as he gives. He said he likes to lean on Goldschmidt and Cody Bellinger — longtime National Leaguers — in particular when the Yankees face NL opponents. Sometimes young players have faced rookie pitchers in the minor leagues, and what they share can change a fellow hitter's at-bat, too. Advertisement Judge also wants to know his teammates' plans at the plate so he can watch their at-bats in real time and provide feedback if he notices something unusual with a swing, or if that hitter strays from his approach. 'Maybe they'll help me recognize a slider a little sooner,' Judge said. 'It goes a long way. Even for me, talking to Goldschmidt, I've seen guys in our division 15 or 20 times. I can throw him a tidbit, tell him that I'm trying to eliminate a certain pitch and focus on these two (pitches), or to focus on a certain zone.' And sometimes, talking to Judge leaves teammates smiling and shaking their heads. Of course, it might be easy for Judge to take certain information and immediately use it on the field. But for mere mortals? 'It's pretty funny,' Escarra said. 'He's so talented. I can be thinking the same things and getting different results. But it's cool being in the same room and talking hitting with him.' (Illustration: Demetrius Robinson / The Athletic. Photo: Steph Chambers / Getty Images)
