CINCINNATI — In Anthony Volpe’s first two seasons as a giant leaguer, he took two routes to the same final result.
As a rookie in 2023, he hit 21 home runs while pulling the ball often, but batted just .208 with a .666 OPS. In his sophomore campaign, he raised his average to .243 while using more of the sphere, but hit just 12 home runs with a .657 OPS.
Essentially the most consistent a part of his offensive game through his first two seasons were the drastic streaks of cold and warm he would alternate between over the course of the yr, normally with little in between.
Nearly halfway through Yr 3, Volpe has raised his OPS to barely above league average (.725 to .715), and prior to the past 10 days looked like he might avoid the wild peaks and valleys.
