Brian Cashman said Thursday that Anthony Volpe was doing “everything he needs to do” in the Yankees’ shortstop competition.
Volpe crushed a long home run and added a double, both to the opposite field, against the Red Sox as he continued to make a push for the shortstop job — or at least make the Yankees’ decision as difficult as possible with less than three weeks remaining in camp.
Then, facing veteran reliever Chris Martin in the fifth inning, Volpe fell behind in the count 1-2 before clobbering a pitch for his second home run of the spring that landed beyond the Red Sox’ bullpen in right-center field. “Wow,” manager Aaron Boone said. “Just really good at-bats from him all day. Getting himself in good counts, making good swing decisions, getting some really good ones off all the way to his last one where he hit a ball well again to right field.
“I think they certainly respect his ability and the way he goes about things,” Boone said. “A lot of our guys, especially our established, core players, I think he’s gotten their attention.”
