Yankees stars’ advice for floundering Anthony Volpe: ‘Most frustrating part’
NY Post
Maybe a week on the road — and away from Yankee Stadium — will help get Anthony Volpe out of his funk.
As part of another hitless day for the slumping shortstop, Volpe was booed after he struck out to end the Yankees’ nine-run third inning in an 11-2 win over the Nationals on Wednesday.
He hasn’t had a hit — or even reached base — in 25 straight plate appearances.
“We’re all humans,’’ Aaron Judge said of how Volpe is handling the situation. “It’s about how you use it. Are you gonna use it to crumble and in a negative way or just tell yourself you’ve got to play better? You have to use it as motivation.”
The latest rough day at the plate was the second in a row since Volpe was held out of the lineup for two straight games Sunday and Monday in an effort to reset.
He responded with a 106-mph shot to the warning track in center on Tuesday and a 103-mph lineout to third base in his first at-bat Wednesday.
