Anthony Volpe’s slump hits 0-for-24: Timing and rhythm ‘a little bit off’
NY Post
Anthony Volpe entered Friday in the midst of a 0-for-20 slump, with Aaron Boone saying the shortstop’s swing has been “off.”
“It comes down to timing and rhythm and making good swing decisions and [being] on time for pitches to do damage with,” Boone said. “And that’s been a little bit off.”
Volpe went hitless again in the Yankees’ 5-3 loss to the Orioles on Friday night at the Stadium, with Boone calling it “a tough night, tough two games. He’s just got to get on time. I feel he’s a little late getting into position.”
The shortstop, who went 0-for-4 with a pair of strikeouts, hasn’t been able to replicate his postseason success so far this year.
In the playoffs, Volpe showed power to all fields — helping lead the offense, along with Juan Soto — that hasn’t been around as much during the first half of this season.
That’s been especially true of late.
