Anthony Volpe Shines in College Debut, Leads Vanderbilt to Opening Night Victory
Early Season Success for Volpe and the Commodores
Anthony Volpe, the New York Yankees' top prospect, had a strong showing in his collegiate debut on Friday night.
Volpe, a shortstop, went 2-for-4 with two singles and an RBI in Vanderbilt's 8-2 victory over Presbyterian.
He also made a key defensive play in the fourth inning, throwing out a runner at home plate.
Volpe's Impressive Performance
Volpe's performance was a positive sign for the Commodores, who are hoping to make a run at the College World Series this season.
The 20-year-old is considered one of the best prospects in baseball, and he is expected to be a key contributor for Vanderbilt this season.
Volpe is known for his speed, fielding, and hitting ability. He is also a good runner, with 28 stolen bases in his minor league career.
What's Next for Volpe and Vanderbilt?
Volpe and the Commodores will be back in action on Saturday night against Presbyterian.
The Commodores will then open their home schedule on Tuesday night against Xavier.
Vanderbilt is ranked No. 3 in the preseason polls, and they are expected to be one of the top teams in the country this season.
