Yankees prized shortstop prospect Anthony Volpe takes a swing at some spring training Q&A with Post columnist Steve Serby.
A: He always ran out hard to first base, and whenever I’d go to the games I’d watch in between innings to see him make the throws across the diamond, and it just seemed like every little detail he was in tuned with, and obviously played well enough where he made some plays that showed off his instincts, but I just loved whenever I was able to go to the games watch the stuff that really the TVs didn’t really show.
Anthony Volpe makes a throw during the Yankees’ spring training game against the Nationals on March 1.A: It feels good to feel like I’m in the mix, and the guys are super-welcoming. It’s nice that I’m here with a bunch of other guys that I’ve played with, and we’re kind of all mixed in with guys we obviously grew up watching. They definitely make you feel like you belong. A: Well, my grandfather, his favorite player is Mickey Mantle.
A: I have to look through it. Obviously the videos are a lot better now and the camera angles and stuff like that. But just different type of stuff like that. A I like when it’s not about baseball, but they obviously are following, and it’s killing them not to be here and watch me play. We go over maybe a little bit of baseball, but then it’s also a lot about just non-baseball, which I appreciate and I like, and ask them how they’re doing and how Jedi our dog’s doing, stuff like that .
A: Pretty much the same thing. He probably is my best friend. We’ve been through it all together, between him being my first and really only coach until I got drafted and started that. He’d work the entire day and then get home and I’d be waiting to go to the field. I mean, must have been tired, but he never showed it. And those are the memories that I take back when I think about baseball and why I love the game so much. It’s always been with him. They’re both the best.
