Too many dead spots in this lineup. Volpe is the worst of them
He’s down to a .200 batting average, a .298 on base percentage, and a .397 slugging percentage with 31 strikeouts in 25 games. I’d rather watch 2024 DJ Lemahieu hit. Out here making Joey Gallo look like Alex Rodriguez by comparison. He needs to be out of the lineup by June if he doesn’t turn it around fast. He came into today hitting .156 over the last 2 weeks.

He’s the only Yankee without a hit or walk today. 0-5 with 4 strikeouts and 0-4 with runners in scoring position and I think 2 of those have been with a man on 3rd and less than 2 outs. At least Cody, Austin, and Jazz are hitting today.

If you can't hit a fastball you're not a major leaguer.

I have been down on Volpe since last year.

Looks like even Michael Kay is coming around to having doubts.

Volpe is making harder contact this season but it doesn’t look like he’s making any sort of leap as a hitter.
