Volpe fucking sucks he’s a AAAA player. Enough with the delusion thinking he will come back to the majors as a better player. 4 year sample size of watching him suck. Hopefully this hitting streak will bring ip his trade value

Teach him how to slap the ball . Use your speed and hit it on the ground. Yanks coaching staff killed this kid .

I feel like having that flexibility is his only real chance to stick in the big leagues. These numbers are great but the list of MLB players with 2000+ PAs and a wRC+ as bad as volpe eventually becoming league average hitters is zilch.

Volpe will be playing 2b next season for the Mets or another team not the Yankees.

Everyone forgets Volpe was playing hurt in 2025 and had surgery in the offseason. He didn’t play the entire spring training.. He is just getting healthy.

He’ll be in the mix at 2nd or 3rd next year. He hits better than Jazz and McMahon.

Show me you can get on consistently you had three seasons you’ll need more than 24 games of minor league play to convince anybody. Show me you can go opposite way and steal a couple bases you got more home runs and stolen bases. You’re not a power hitter dude.

Can't wait to see him revert to a slap hitter when he's back up. I miss 2025 pre-injury Volpe

Question? Do you know if he’s been playing second base or shortstop.

Little bit of both. He’s logged more 2B innings in AAA than he has SS innings though

Caballero plays better defense and runs the bases better. They'll take a marginal downgrade on offense for that and just punt hitting at SS.

once judge is back cabby’s positional versatility really just isn’t needed. He becomes essentially the 6th OF and at best the 5th next year. So now you have a guy with very little offensive upside and just isn’t a very good glove outside of SS. Which he won’t really play SS.

Maybe Volpe can handle a utility role. Maybe this proves he’s just a Quad A player. That’s still to be determined. Unfortunately in NY the media & fans can destroy a young player like Volpe. Specially when they’re making errors in the field. Then also look horrible in the Box.

OF RJ Austin (Vanderbilt Baseball) is an intriguing college hitter in this year's Draft. Carved out an every day role as a Freshman and collected 18 XBH with 43 RBIs, but had a breakout summer on the Cape to the tune of a .327/.426/.376 slash line with 13 RBIs in 29 games. Carried that momentum over into last season where he hit .335/.402/.471 with 14 2B, 5 HRs, 54 RBIs and 28 SB. Earned an invitation to Team USA, but had a strong 15-game stint on the Cape and hit .321/.361/.536 with 6 2B, 2 HRs and 9 RBIs. Strong, athletic build at 5'11" and 193-lbs with plenty of natural strength. Stands fairly tall in the box with his knees slightly bent and a tight base with a slightly open front side. Austin has lowered his handset a bit since last spring, and he now has more of a medium-high handset. Barrel tip in his load is accompanied by his hands drifting. High leg kick leads into a rather lengthy stride. Quick hands and easy plus bat speed. Athletic look, rotates well. Austin's hit tool has taken positive strides since the start of his college career, and last year he posted an overall contact rate of 82% and an IZ contact rate of 91% (including 94% against FB). Present feel for the barrel. Approach and swing decisions still need some fine-tuning, and Austin is susceptible to FBs in the top and outer-1/3 as well as secondaries down-and-away. Very pull-oriented approach. Would give it a 50, probably closer to a 55 than a 50. Austin's also a strong kid with more impact in the tank than his 12 career HRs might suggest. All of his HR power has come to the pull side, but he needs to get the ball up in the air more. Posted a Max EV of 110 last spring. There are some ingredients to work with here, but has to lift the baseball on a more regular basis. Power plays as a 45 in-game. Has had limited experience in the OF to this point, but will roam CF this spring for Vanderbilt. Got a fair amount of run out there this summer on the Cape. Austin's speed and athleticism both translate to the position—he can go and get it—but the reads and route running will need refinement. Fringe-average arm. I'm curious to see the progress over the course of the season. I alluded to it, but Austin is a plus runner and an effective base-stealer. Twitchy. 2nd-3rd round type for me this July.

C Cole Messina (@GamecockBasebll) is going to be a fun follow this spring. After playing sparingly as a true Freshman in 2022, Messina had a strong summer in the Northwoods League and hit .294/.410/.483 with 10 2B, 5 HR, and 40 RBIs. Proceeded to have a stellar Sophomore campaign, hitting .307/.428/.615 with 18 2B, 17 HR, and 65 RBIs in 62 games. Was a First Team All-SEC selection and a Third Team All-American. Thick, ultra-physical build at 6' and 230-lbs. Stands nearly upright in the box with a slightly open front side. Somewhat high handset, starts with the head of his bat pointed almost straight down behind his back shoulder. Small stride, gets his swing going with a bit of a barrel tip and without much of a load. Bat speed is plus. Messina has a pull-oriented approach and an above average feel for the barrel. Bat-to-ball skills are advanced, and in '23 he sported an overall IZ contact rate of 90% (90% against FB, 92% against SL). Sound pitch recognition skills and doesn't really expand the zone. Would put a 55 on the hit tool. His natural strength and physicality allows him to generate high-quality impact on a regular basis. Max EV in '23 was 108. Overall raw power is a 55, but a 60 to the pull side. There are some defensive question marks, but Messina is a sneaky athlete behind the dish. Moves well laterally. However, his overall catching skillset will need to become more polished. Even with the murkiness surrounding his eventual defensive home, Messina's bat will likely be enough to warrant a 3rd-5th round selection this July. (📽️: @GamecockBasebll)

OF Ethan Conrad (Wake Forest Baseball) has seen his Draft stock rise considerably over the last calendar year. Following a productive Freshman season and summer, Conrad had an outstanding Sophomore year to the tune of a .389/.467/.704 slash line with 18 2B, a nation-leading 13 3B, 9 HR, 52 RBIs and 17 SB. His hot hitting didn't stop there, though, as on the Cape this summer he was both an All-Star (ASG MVP) and All-League selection after hitting .385/.433/.486 with 5 2B, 2 HR, 19 RBIs, and 19 SB. Conrad has an athletic, big league frame at 6'3" and 200-lbs. Simple setup in the box in which he stands fairly upright—albeit slightly hunched over—with a medium-high handset and holds the bat flat over his back shoulder. Minimal load, leg lift leads into a small stride. Conrad takes a direct path to contact and his barrel accelerates through the zone. Hand speed is above-average. It's a very compact, repeatable and under control operation. He has plus bat-to-ball skills and is consistently on the barrel. Last spring he ran an overall IZ contact rate of 91%, including 90% against FB and 94% against both SL and CH. This summer was a similar story, as his overall IZ contact rate was also 91% (93% against FB/CH, 91% against SL). Conrad can get trigger happy with FB in the top and/or outer-1/3 and has the tendency to chase secondaries down, though it hasn't hindered his production to this point. Tightening up his swing decisions a bit will help. Would give his hit tool a 55. Conrad has shown the ability to spray line drives to all parts of the field and is capable of driving the baseball into either gap. While he uses the whole field, his highest quality of contact comes to the pull side—which is also where all of his HR power to this point has come. There's present impact, however, and this spring he posted a Max EV of 109.4 and this summer his Max EV was 105.4. If he's able to get the ball up in the air more, increased HR numbers should follow suit. Power is a 50 right now. Corner OF profile defensively where his speed and athleticism translate well. Good instincts, can go and get balls in the gap or down the line. Arm is average. Alluded to it, but Conrad is also a plus runner who has a knack for taking an extra base on a ball in the gap or down the line. Most importantly, he knows *how* to run which helps his speed play up on the bases where he's an effective base stealer and chaos-causer. There's a lot to like tools-wise with Conrad and he figures to be the centerpiece of Wake Forest's lineup in 2025. Definite day 1 type this July, top-40 overall upside. (📽️: Marist Baseball)

C/INF Anthony Seigler is an ambidextrous (!!) depth addition who should instantly compete for a role on the major league roster with the Red Sox. The 26yo was a dynamic offensive producer at the Triple-A level last season: ⚾️ .285/.414/.478 ⚾️ .892 OPS ⚾️ 17% BB / 19% K ⚾️ .379 xwOBA ⚾️ 143 wRC+ Seigler absolutely feasted on RHPs in Triple-A last season, boasting a diabolical .983 OPS and more BBs (43) than Ks (42) in 246 PAs. He also turned in quality rates in terms of zCon (84%), SwStr (9%), chase (20%), and HH (46%) and was an above average baserunner. Another thing Seigler does exceptionally well is rake against fastballs. He turned in a .529 SLG and .408 xwOBA against FA-types in '25, plus was able to maintain that elite production against velo, slashing .326/.436/.587 against FA-types of 94+ mph in Triple-A. Seigler enters camp as a dark horse to make the 26-man roster. Despite mainly seeing time at 3B with the Brewers, he's had experience dabbling in some 2B/OF/C work in the minors. I should note, Baseball America rated Seigler as the Yankees' top defensive catching prospect back in 2019. He hasn't been able to show all that much behind the plate while moving around, but perhaps there's more to tap into here. He is reunited with old friend, Tyson Blaser. Seigler's versatility and platoon potential should give him a shot to crack the roster. If not, I'm very confident we see him making an impact at some point in '26. I'm very excited about this addition as well.

I feel like the Jays fans are going through what we went through last year with Devin Williams. A year after giving up a historical, gut punching home run to be a big factor in losing his team a do/die game, the underlying metrics have looked amazing but haven't matched the results in the slightest. The peripherals on his season are outstanding. 🔹2.68 xERA || 2.31 FIP || 1.78 xFIP || 🔹99th-100th percentile Chase%, whiff%, K%..the stuff is stuffing. And he only has a 6.9% BB rate. 🔹A 37.9 K% - 6.9 BB% is absurdly good and this is one of the best predictive metrics we have in the sport 🔹Also limits hard contact: 6.5% Barrel rate and 30.6% Hardhit rate 🔹Andddd keeps balls on the ground for the most part But the results make no sense: 4.62 ERA (now higher obviously) .492 BABIP 68.8% LOB 16.7 HR/FB% This is almost identical to what we went through with Devin. On the one side, a lot of the data guys are (and understandably) saying this is a really good pitcher that needs more time for things to come back down to earth. But then you have more of the not-so data crowd (+ even some of the data crowd by now) saying this is a guy that shouldnt see high leverage again. And I understand both, just as I did with the Devin situation. It's hard to fault fans for just not wanting any part of this after what happened last year + what they feel as a fan this year. But then again, it's hard to ignore how dam good the data looks too, which is more often more correct than the eye.

Congrats to Ryan Ward for having his contract selected and being placed on the Dodgers' 40 Man Roster. Wardo was awarded as the Most Valuable Player in the PCL this past season after hitting .290, with an OPS of .937. He posted a WRC+ of 132, and his 36 home runs led ALL of the Minor Leagues During this season he also became the ALL-TIME home runs leader (90) and RBIs (318) in the history of the Bricktown Ballpark Era for OKC baseball. On a personal note, I've been going to AAA OKC games since 1975. That dates back to All-Sports stadium, and 6 different affiliation changes, 5 of which have been in my lifetime, and that I remember VERY well. So, to see this with my own eyes was truly historical on a personal level for me as well. #89ERS And, to have it happen in the first year of the new branding was a real "page turner" of OKC baseball, so that's SUPER cool too. Ward also drove in 122 runs, which is the most of ANY player in the PCL since 2010, and racked up the most total bases (315) of any player in the PCL since 2001. Ward also set single-season records for the Bricktown era in hits (164), runs (113), and RBIs (122). As per his defense... His outfield play has gotten better and better as each year has passed, and, while his bat will likely always be the"show stealer", he is a good athlete and has become a very solid outfielder. He can also play 1st base, and dabbled in a touch of 2nd base while at Bryant Baseball Speaking of Bryant, he's the only Bulldog ever to hit over .400 for a single season, and he struck out just 1 time his senior Season at Millbury, so the "hit tool" is NOT a new thing for him. As an aside, he graduated with fewer than 100 kids in his High School, and he is not shy to show pride in his "small town" work ethic. With all the home runs over the fence, his highlight of last year was an at-bat where he kept the ball IN the park. Wardo knocked an INSIDE-the-park WALKOFF home run back at the beginning of May. Congrats, Wardo, I could type ALL DAY about this dude, but that will do it for NOW. #dodgers
