Cashman said that the twenty-one-year-old is close to making an impact in the Bronx.

This past season, split between Double-A and Triple-A, Volpe slashed .249/.342/.460, with 21 home runs, 65 RBIs, 50 stolen bases and 86 runs scored.

He definitely has all the tools to be an impact player at the major league level and his development has been impressively fast.

Volpe was the Yankees' 1st-round pick in the 2019 MLB Draft.
