NextImg:Yankees move red-hot Anthony Volpe to leadoff spot in quick change of heart

Anthony Volpe is getting a look in the leadoff spot after all. 

A day after manager Aaron Boone said he wasn’t ready to pull the trigger on that move, the young shortstop was at the top of the Yankees’ batting order Wednesday night.

Volpe, 22, had gotten off to a fast start in his second season in pinstripes, slashing .375/.444/.600 with a 1.044 OPS. And Wednesday, he rose to the leadoff spot.

Gleyber Torres had been hitting leadoff up until this point.

“There may be a day when he becomes a natural fit up there,” Boone said on Tuesday. “So that’s always in there and I do feel like when we look up at 10 years that’s where his future is going to be, at the top of the lineup. That’s who he is.

“But it’s not something I’m in a real hurry to do.”
