Anthony Volpe ‘catching ‘fire’ for Yankees right when they need it

There are not many people, if any, who have seen more of Anthony Volpe’s swing over the last few years than Austin Wells. 

So the Yankees catcher knows what it looks like when Volpe is going right, which is what he has seen over the first two rounds of the playoffs entering the World Series. 

“He’s been on fire,” Wells said Wednesday on a video call from Yankee Stadium before the team flew to Los Angeles. “His at-bats have been great. He’s not giving up any pitches. You can really tell he’s got a full intent on what he wants to do at the plate and he’s not giving anything away, which is exactly where we need him to be.”
