The 2025 season could not have been worse for New York Yankees shortstop Anthony Volpe.
Yet, the embattled shortstop is reminding Yankees fans why manager Aaron Boone and the front office stuck with him and rewarding them for doing so.
His single helped give breathing room to Yankees starter Cam Schlittler, who of course threw eight shutout innings while striking out 12 in his first postseason start.
He slashed .286/.407/.408 with a memorable grand slam in Game 4 of the World Series against the Los Angeles Dodgers, while scoring 10 runs and playing in all 14 Yankees postseason games.
If he can continue postseason magic, it would go a long way toward getting the Yankees back to the World Series.
