Oswald Peraza and Anthony Volpe have traveled parallel paths that have rarely intersected.
Peraza’s bat is adjusting as Volpe’s glove is adjusting to second base.
He caught fire in June and did not stop hitting the rest of the season, including during his September promotion.Through seven Grapefruit League games, Peraza is 3-for-17 with three walks and a pair of steals after going 0-for-2 with a walk Monday.“I think it’s about making adjustments whenever you have to,” Peraza said.Yankees shortstop Oswald Peraza throws out Minnesota Twins Donovan Solano on a groundout in the first inning on Monday.“He looks the part.
“I think just the angles are different than shortstop. Just different angles off the bat, angles toward first base,” said Volpe, who credited first base coach Travis Chapman, roving instructor Dan Fiorito and guest instructor Willie Randolph with the smooth transition. “At the end of the day, I’m very lucky to have some people helping me out.
Volpe, who is not on the 40-man roster and hit just .236 in 22 games in Triple-A last season, still faces an uphill climb to crack the Opening Day roster.
