This is not a "make a predication on his stats" post.

Rather, it's a question on what type of season each reader sees Anthony Volpe having in 2025. Will Volpe continue to slowly improve as a hitter? Will Volpe stay an excellent defender? Will Volpe steal a lot of bases? Or will Volpe disappoint again with his bat?

You can make a prediction on his stats, if you'd like, but, overall, in general, what do you see Volpe's 2025 season looking like?

Continued growth as a hitter. I doubt both a major leap forward and any steps backward.

sit and try, as I might, I honestly cannot come up with any realistic idea of what to expect. I am hopeful and I do not think we are without reason to hope or believe that he can become a more valuable offensive player

sadly, I do think we have seen enough to know that it was a mistake to pass on multiple likely future HOFers who were available while Volpe was in the minors- Lindor, Seager, Turner- I dont see Simien at the same level, but he is pretty clearly a better player than Volpe likely becomes. finally, no matter what Volpe does to improve, I think we can feel confident he never reaches the level of Witt an…
