In form or out of form, almost every baseball dreams to play for the New York Yankees at least once in their lifetime. Many get this opportunity but fail to perform, which puts them in a difficult position. The responsibility becomes more difficult if it’s their rookie year, which Anthony Volpe is experiencing right now. The 22- year-old struggled with consistency, which put the hitting coach under fire, but has done well lately.

Given that it all happened after his chicken parm dinner with his former teammates, his change in form has become a center point of talking. Volpe did not comment earlier on the incident but shared his thoughts recently. As fans had their eyes on the entire episode, they added their thoughts to this case with their reactions.

Anthony Volpe terms the Chicken Parm incident as nothing serious

Some moments change the entire course of our lives. This is very much true with Volpe, who struggled to hit well, but a meeting with his former teammates changed everything. It happened when he invited his teammates for a chicken parm dinner. There he got to know about a problem with his swing. With the help of one of his teammates, Wells, Volpe changed his stance.

It helped him immensely, which has transformed his hitting stats. Even if his last eight appearances accounted for, Volpe has recorded an average of 0.267 with seven runs, two HRs, and an OPS of 0.800. Seeing his performance, everyone wanted to know about the entire case. Recently, in a conversation with Bryan Hoch, Volpe answered this question.

His comments came amidst his former teammate, a Yankees prospect, showing his desire to play alongside him. Somerset Patriots shared a video of Wells’s conversation with the media.

During this, he appreciated Volpe and said, ” It’s amazing. Seeing him perform even early on, it’s so cool to see him up there playing the game. I got to play with him in the last two years and hope to again this year. So I think it’s super cool to have him up there representing the younger guys, the younger prospects up there and doing what he does best.

All this because of chicken parm?

The reactions from fans have been lovely for Volpe, who has been in dominant form. With another prospect joining the conversation, things have become interesting. Given the importance of the games, it would be interesting to see how much more Volpe would excel in the future. Will he be able to continue this run? Only time will tell!
