Parker Messick

The Guardians’ starting pitcher for this game was Parker Messick. It is time for you to know who he is. The young left-handed pitcher is a likely candidate for the American League rookie of the year. He came into this game 6-2 with a 2.46 earned run average. He was a second-round draft pick and went to college at Florida State University. He had 82 strikeouts in 80 and one-third innings coming into this game. The Bombers tend to struggle against left-handed pitchers, but did not really do so in this game. They chased Messick after five and two-thirds innings.

Anthony Volpe

Anthony Volpe had a huge double today to score the Yankees’ fifth run. However, he was also gifted a baserunning opportunity when there was an error by the Cleveland Guardians’ second baseman. He grounded twice and walked out as well. He is hitting just .194, and he made an error at shortstop.

Volpe was a heralded prospect for the team, and the hometown boy was once viewed as a replacement for Derek Jeter. This year, he lost his starting shortstop job and spent time in the minor leagues. Prospect George Lombard Jr. is now at AAA. He is a shortstop and breathing down Volpe’s neck. Both Jose Caballero and Max Schumann are pesky-good players and on the roster. The team has options at shortstop, and fans question whether Volpe should play anymore. He does not look like a baseball player.
