Anthony Volpe has two hits in his 25 plate appearances since the All-Star break. His stance adjustments a few weeks ago had many Yankees fans ready to sing his praises again: by closing his hips off, Volpe went back to the stance he came up with. Many hoped it’d be the spark he needed to hit consistently and take the first steps to being the shortstop of the future. After promising results for about 75 at-bats, Volpe has plateaued again and more questions arise almost 100 games into his major league career.
The 2-for-25 is probably an anomaly; Volpe saw markedly better results using his changed stance in the weeks before the All-Star break, and even with his cold spell recently, he has a 109 wRC+ since June 14th.
