Volpe: All Slide, No Power! BT & Sal Blast!

Brandon Tierney & Sal Licata

BT and Sal are discussing Anthony Volpe's troubling lack of power, particularly after a recent play where he "almost" hit a ball over the 410-foot fence. Sal vehemently dismisses the idea of giving Volpe credit for an "almost," emphasizing that his current hitting—around .150 in the last month and a half—is a prolonged slump. They agree that while Volpe has good bat speed, he consistently hits to center and right-center field without the necessary pop, a fundamental flaw preventing him from being a "big boy" hitter. This ongoing power deficit is a major concern for the hosts, overshadowing any positive plays like his recent slide.
