Opening Day has arrived — and so has Anthony Volpe.
The Yankees started the 2023 season on Thursday afternoon against the Giants with a 5-0 win, hoping to take the next step after they were swept out of the ALCS by the Astros a season ago.
Volpe is the Yankees’ top prospect and won the shortstop job with an electric spring training — and is the biggest addition from last year’s team.
Gerrit Cole pitched six shutout innings and set a Yankees Opening Day record with 11 strikeouts.
