Yankees prospect Anthony Volpe has been compared to Bo Bichette

Is Bo Bichette a perfect player? The answer is no. Defensively speaking, he still needs refinement and doubts remain about his position in the future. Will he really stay at shortstop or would he win by going to second base?

That said, note that with Marcus Semien as a mentor in 2021, he has made giant strides defensively.

But offensively, he really has a rare talent. In 2021, he had 191 hits (an AHL high, by the way), batted for .298/.343/.484, had 29 home runs and drove in 102 runs. No, he’s not an all-star by chance.

And more and more, we recognize him as a star. For example? In the race for the MVP, he ranks fourth behind the big leading trio (Vladimir Guerrero Jr. and the two stars of the Angels, Mike Trout and Shohei Ohtani), which is not nothing considering the talent among the players. of the American.

Bo Bichette is fourth in the standings.

Vladdy Junior is talked about a lot in Toronto (and with good reason), but the shortstop’s name comes up a lot too.

For example, when we wonder what impact Juan Soto’s big contract will have on young people, we also mention Bichette… knowing that he won’t be playing in the same waters, but considering that he too will have , a big contract.

All that to say that yes, Bichette is an excellent ball player and that he is, by necessity, a role model for young people. Some shortstops will want to become like him, which is normal.

And on that subject, at ESPN, the comparison between Anthony Volpe (a prospect who forces the Yankees to keep the shortstop open in the medium term) and Bichette was made because of their momentum.

ESPN’s Kiley McDaniel ranked Anthony Volpe as the sixth-best prospect in baseball, claiming that the shortstop reminds him of Toronto’s Bo Bichette

It’s clear that if the Bronx Bombardiers add a Bichette to their roster in 2022 or 2023 (it doesn’t matter when the young prospect breaks through), they’ll be on their way to what’s next.

Normally, Volpe should be Major League Baseball’s top prospect within a year.
