The plaguing question surrounding slumping Anthony Volpe
NY Post
CINCINNATI — In Anthony Volpe’s first two seasons as a big leaguer, he took two routes to a similar end result.
As a rookie in 2023, he hit 21 home runs while pulling the ball often, but batted just .208 with a .666 OPS. In his sophomore campaign, he raised his average to .243 while using more of the field, but hit just 12 home runs with a .657 OPS.
The most consistent part of his offensive game through his first two seasons were the drastic streaks of hot and cold he would alternate between over the course of the year, usually with little in between.
Nearly halfway through Year 3, Volpe has raised his OPS to slightly above league average (.729 to .715), and prior to the last 10 days looked like he might avoid the wild peaks and valleys.
