Anthony Volpe's journey to the Bronx 👉

Getting their guy

The Yankees didn't waste any time taking Volpe off the board, selecting him in the first round in 2019

Dig the long ball

Even before turning pro, Volpe had a knack for going yard at Delbarton High School in New Jersey

2️⃣7️⃣th heaven

Volpe finished his first full pro season with 27 jacks between Low-A Tampa and High-A Hudson Valley

Coming up BIG

In his first action at big league camp, Volpe flashed the skills that made him a first-round selection

Grand opening!

Volpe's first Double-A home run for Somerset was a grand slam. How's that for a first impression?

New 👕, same 💪

No matter the jersey, Volpe continued to mash dingers in the Eastern League

Jump for joy

Volpe was named to the 2022 SiriusXM All-Star Futures Game, where he held down -- and hung up -- the shortstop spot

Blink & miss it

The toolsy shortstop also showed off his impressive speed at Somerset 💨

Flashing leather

Volpe continued to show plus defense after getting promoted to the Minors' highest level

No doubt about it

Power also remained part of Volpe's game with Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre at the end of 2022

⭐ of the spring

With his Grapefruit League play in 2023 -- .314 with 3 homers -- Volpe gave the Yankees no choice but to include him on their Opening Day roster
