Amateur career

Professional career


The New York Yankees selected Volpe in the first round, with the 30th overall selection, of the 2019 Major League Baseball draft.[7][8] He signed on June 10, receiving a $2.7 million signing bonus, and made his professional debut with the Pulaski Yankees of the Rookie Advanced Appalachian League.[9][10][11] Over 34 games, he batted .215 with two home runs and 11 RBIs.[12] During the COVID-19 shutdown resulted in the cancellation of the 2020 minor league season, Volpe worked to gain muscle and improve his swing.[13] To begin the 2021 season, he was assigned to the Tampa Tarpons of the Low-A Southeast.[14] After slashing .302/.455/.623 with 12 home runs and 49 RBIs across 54 games, he was promoted to the Hudson Valley Renegades of High-A East.[15]

The Yankees assigned Volpe to the Somerset Patriots of the Double-A Eastern League for the start of the 2022 season.[16] On June 26, Volpe hit a walk-off home run in the bottom of the 10th inning to a 6-5 win against the visiting Hartford Yard Goats. His solo homer delivered the Eastern League Northeast Division first-half title to the Somerset Patriots in a winner-take-all game between the division's top two teams.[17] In July, Volpe represented the American League at the All-Star Futures Game.[18] Volpe batted .252 with 18 home runs and 60 RBIs in 109 games for Somerset and was promoted to the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders of the Triple-A International League on September 2.[19]
