NEW YORK — If you happen to think torpedo bats are a shortcut to home run heaven, take a look at the Yankees’ box scores the last two nights. They’ve struck out 27 times, not to mention back to back losses to the Diamondbacks. So let’s be real about this next-generation lumber.

Anthony Volpe has displayed some power during his young MLB career. So far this season, though, that’s all he’s shown.

The New York Yankees dropped their second game of the season on Wednesday night with an underwhelming 4-3 loss to the Arizona Diamondbacks. For the most part, the club’s offense has cooled down from their red-hot opening series against the Milwaukee Brewers.
