Volpe attended several Yankees playoff games growing up in Watchung, N.J. It was always a thrill.
Anthony Volpe used one word to describe his expectations for Saturday’s American League Division Series opener.“We would be sitting with our backs touching the top of the upper deck,” the 23-year-old Volpe said. “We went to the A’s wild-card game, the Twins wild-card game.”He’ll have a much better view this October. Volpe has talked to several teammates about how much different the playoffs are. He wants to be prepared.
“There’s a lot of excitement and I’m ready to go. This is what you play for,” Volpe said. “As a fan, it’s what you always look forward to, when the real season starts. From the flip perspective , I think it’s even cooler, because sometimes as a fan maybe you take it for granted. As a player, you know everything it takes to get to this point.”
He finished with an underwhelming slash line of .243/.293/.364 with 12 home runs, 60 RBIs and a .657 OPS. “Personally I view it through how the team did. There’s a lot of times I could contribute more, but at the end of the day, we were the best team in the American League,” Volpe said. “Regardless of little spots throughout the season or how I was viewed, I’m definitely happy to be a part of this team.”
