Yankees’ unlikely double-play duo is on a quest to become one up the middle
NY Post
CLEARWATER, Fla. — They are the Yankees’ version of the Odd Couple.
The shortstop is a buttoned-up, mostly reserved 23-year-old who grew up as a baseball rat in New Jersey and “acts like he’s old as hell,” the second baseman says. The second baseman is a vibrant 27-year-old from the Bahamas who plays and exists with swagger, and can only be described as “one of one — in the best way,” by the shortstop.
Together, Anthony Volpe and Jazz Chisholm Jr. are the Yankees’ new double-play combination, one that has the potential to be a dynamic defensive duo up the middle.
“I think we can be the best shortstop-second baseman in the league defensively,” Chisholm said Thursday. “I think we’re probably going to turn the most double plays in the league, too.”

Wednesday was another positive day at Yankees camp.
