At 21 years and 336 days, Volpe will be the youngest player in the Yankees' Opening Day starting lineup since Derek Jeter in 1996 (21 years and 281 days).

That leaves 75 numbers to issue to players and coaches, which seems like a lot — until you realize the Yankees invited 69 players to spring training this year.

At the start of spring training, few people within the Yankees thought he had a shot at taking over the everyday role in the Bronx. When they’re finished, he’ll scarf a sandwich while driving another couple hours to Chester, N.J., just to go through a grueling workout with the same private trainer he’s worked with since he was 10 years old.

Cuando Judge irrumpió en escena como un novato superestrella en 2017, conectó 52 jonrones, ganó los honores de novato del año y terminó segundo en la carrera por el MVP, el entonces mánager Joe Girardi comparó al toletero con Jeter, notando su actitud, presencia y sonrisa.

"Ese fue un mal aspecto, así que le prometí a mi esposa y a mi familia que nunca volvería a hacer ningún comentario en ningún tipo de redes sociales ni nada por el estilo". El bisabuelo de Volpe por parte de su padre se mudó a los Estados Unidos desde Italia con una educación de tercer grado. Durante los primeros 10 años de la vida de Anthony, los Volpe vivieron en Murray Hill y el Upper West Side, y lo traían a The Baseball Center, un centro de entrenamiento cercano, porque quería jugar tanto como fuera posible. Mientras el novato se prepara para conocer a Piniella por primera vez, hace un movimiento que luego haría temblar a los fieles de los Yankees: se quita la gorra antes de estrechar la mano de Piniella.

BRONX -- An outstanding effort from Yankees starter Gerrit Cole, a pair of home runs and a little excitement out of Anthony Volpe in his major league debut.

DJ LeMahieu padded the Bombers’ lead in the bottom of the seventh when he hit a grounder to left field that scored Torres from third to make it a 4-0 game. It marked the first time in Judge’s career that he had hit a home run in an Opening Day at-bat. Volpe was given a loud ovation when he was introduced to the crowd during pregame introductions and his first at-bat. Gleyber Torres’ two-run homer didn’t come until the bottom of the fourth inning after Josh Donaldson had singled to left field. Volpe got a quick jump on Giants starter Logan Webb, who struck out DJ LeMahieu, and was able to beat out the throw. It was the fifth time in his career that Cole started on opening day and carried 3.77 ERA in three previous Opening Day starts. The stolen base came after his first MLB at-bat in the fourth inning. The excitement around Volpe’s debut in the Bronx had certainly been palpable on Thursday at Yankee Stadium. “Honestly, after the first batter, I would have told you like I would have been just happy to get through five,” Cole said after the win. The Yankees ace threw six innings and struck out a franchise record 11 batters on Opening Day, surpassing the previous Opening Day Yankee record set by Tim Leary in 1991. I think with it being a little cooler and with the wind blowing, I think he was getting some good movement with that pitch.” “I think first and foremost I thought he had good stuff and a really good fastball,” manager Aaron Boone said.

It was hard to tell if those were "boos'' or "Boooones'' for the manager. "There's a potential deal going forward,'' said the manager. Volpe's mature plate discipline this spring is what set him apart, and made you believe he was ready for The Show at age 21. Based on his performance as a call-up late last season and his performance in camp, "I feel like Oswaldo kind of earned it,'' said Boone, adding that it was just an Opening Day decision and that Hicks would have "a huge role'' on the club.

Everything went well in the Bronx. Gerrit Cole cruised, Aaron Judge homered and Anthony Volpe made his major league debut in an easy win over San Francisco.

Volpe grounded to third in the fifth inning and struck out in the seventh. For now, it was enough to be an official major leaguer, an undefeated Yankee, teammates with Judge, Cole and the rest, a microcosm of opening day itself: Everything is new, and anything is possible. “It was probably the most fun day of my entire life,” said Volpe, who turns 22 in April. He earned the shortstop job this month with a torrid spring training, and was ready for his first-inning salute from the fans in the right field bleachers. “Really?” he asked Judge in the dugout, and Judge just smiled. Volpe drew a walk with a full count and then stole second, sliding safely into the new, pizza-box-sized bases for 2023. When the fans chanted his name on Thursday, Volpe did the same, then raised his glove to right field. I think the fans got a pretty good roar out of that one.” Eleven years later, the Yankees chose another fan in the first round, but this time they signed him: Anthony Volpe, who turned down Vanderbilt to join the team he loved as a boy. Judge, of course, got the captaincy when he returned to the Yankees for nine years and $360 million, turning down his hometown Giants in free agency. instead of signing with the Yankees, his favorite team, who made him their first-round draft pick out of a California high school in 2008. “Every team walks into the season with that hopeful feeling.”

NEW YORK – The roars were jet-engine loud as Anthony Volpe jogged to the first-base line at 12:51 p.m. on Thursday, resplendent in a crisp, white uniform.

And while so much on this Opening Day represents a new era, like the pitch clock and larger bases, one thing remained reliable. The same could not be said for his manager. Cashman pitted Judge against the Yankees before the larger-than-life slugger even took his first at-bat of the year.

Aaron Judge's first swing of the 2023 season ended up just like 62 others last year: as a soaring home run.

"I'm trying to get 1% better every day, and hopefully I can add that up over a course of nine years and have some impactful years here with the Yankees." "It would have been nice to have him," Webb said. "I think in hindsight it's safe to assume it was not." "One of the darkest places I went was picturing him on that third-base line in a Giants uniform on opening day." "It was a tone setter for us," said Yankees pitcher Gerrit Cole, who got the win.
