Volpe is an athletic 5-foot-10, 170 pound athlete with some fill and strength coming. Volpe displayed a smooth and rhythmic swing and showed impressive barrel control throughout his round; he also had one of the highest max exit velocities of the day at 94 mph. He showcased the ability to handle the middle infield showing ease to his operation when moving laterally and softness to his hands.

Volpe makes his rankings debut at No. 83 in this update. Listed at a projectable and lean 5-foot-10, 170-pounds, Volpe possesses a whippy bat that has seemed to flat out hit across the summer circuit. On the infield he is a clean mover and pairs it with an arm that has topped at 80 mph across the diamond in our looks, too. Overall, there is a lot to like from this young prospect and he is from a Whitefish Bay area that has created many next-level prospects recently.
