The Yankees have officially brought Anthony Volpe into the fold and now, as Jim Carrey’s Riddler said in “Batman Forever,” the real game begins.
The pressure is already on for the young shortstop and he hasn’t even debuted yet. Being a major league player is already a phenomenal experience but there’s something special about being a star shortstop. To succeed and be considered one of the elites at that position is incredibly hard.
Think about it. The number of top-tier shortstops in Major League Baseball is small, probably less than ten. The Yankees are trusting Volpe to establish himself in this exclusive group.
