In the Yankees' exhibition season opener, Anthony Volpe made a notable impact by grounding a single up the middle on the second pitch he faced from Reese Olson. Volpe continued to showcase his skills by stealing second base, going 1-for-1, and eventually driving in a run on a fielder's choice, contributing to the Yankees' lead, which stood at 6-2. Reese Olson, on the other hand, pitched 1.2 innings, allowing no earned runs, one hit, and three walks, while hitting one batter and throwing 39 pitches, 16 of which were strikes. Volpe's performance is a continuation of his effort to recapture the bat-to-ball skills that accelerated his progression through the minors, as he secures his position at shortstop and enjoys the game.
