His Yankees spring training invitation is expected.

The right-handed batter ranks No. 1 among the Yankees’ top prospects and he led the Yankees’ minor leaguers in hits, doubles, extra-base hits (61), total bases (235), and stolen bases. He also came in second in runs scored, home runs, RBI, triples, and walks. Volpe was the only minor league player to have at least 20 home runs and 50 stolen bases. He was the first player to do this since Andruw Jones in 1995. At the Yankees spring training, he may play as a shortstop.

He hit.273 with 92 runs, 23 doubles, 7 triples, 16 home runs, 59 RBI, 72 walks, and 37 steals. He was first in runs while second in hits and triples. His Yankees spring training invitation was expected.

At the 2022 SiriusXM All-Star Futures Game in Los Angeles, the switch-hitter started in center field and hit a two-run home run. After the season, Baseball America named him the Yankees’ No. 3 prospect and the No. 67 overall prospect in baseball. MLB Pipeline also put him at No. 47 overall. MiLB.com also named him an Organization All-Star. The Florida State League also named him a Postseason All-Star and the league’s “Top MLB Prospect.”
