Yankees putting faith in Anthony Volpe as errors mount
NY Post
The Yankees are going to ride it out with Anthony Volpe.
As the errors pile up, manager Aaron Boone continues to write his name into the starting lineup, opting against giving him a break, despite the uptick in mistakes that have led to boos from the Stadium crowd.
“I have not wanted to do that or decided to do that,” Boone said before the Yankees’ 5-4, 11-inning win over the Rays on Wednesday night in The Bronx. “Clearly, he’s gone through some struggles here in some key moments, not made some plays. I think Anthony’s super tough, and I think he’s wired for this.”
A Gold Glover in 2023, Volpe committed two errors in Tuesday night’s win over the Rays, including a bounced throw that extended the game in the ninth inning.
His other error — on a botched flip to second baseman Jazz Chisholm Jr. — led to a pair of first-inning runs.
After a throwing error Wednesday night, he has 16 errors, one more than Reds shortstop Elly De La Cruz for the most in baseball. The .959 fielding percentage he took into Wednesday’s game is the lowest of his three-year career.
