With his hitting streak now at 19 games and counting, New York Yankees' infielder Anthony Volpe is chasing one of the true Yankee legends.
take on the Los Angeles Angels on Tuesday night, shortstop Anthony Volpe will be looking to pull even closer in the battle for some illustrious team history.June 27-July 21, 1937 Joe DiMaggio: 22longest hitting streaks at age 23 or younger, Yankees history:DiMaggio is in the Baseball Hall of Fame and owns the longest hitting streak in baseball history, so to be lumped in with him is certainly a special accomplishment for Volpe.
He made his debut a season ago and took some lumps, hitting .209, but he showed real promise as well, winning a Gold Glove and stealing 24 bases. The Yankees have the most wins in the American League at 37, and are currently positioned to have their best chance at winning a World Series since the 2009 season.
If they are able to accomplish that, they will need Volpe to continue being a major force at the top of the order. The Yankees and Halos will begin their series in Anaheim on Tuesday at 9;38 p.m. ET. The Yankees just took two of three from the San Diego Padres.Brady Farkas is a baseball writer for Fastball on Sports Illustrated/FanNation and the host of 'The Payoff Pitch' podcast which can be found on Apple Podcasts and Spotify.
