Yankees' New Double-Play Duo Aims for Defensive Dominance in 2025

Jazz Chisholm Jr. and Anthony Volpe are working to establish themselves as MLB's top middle infield pair with high defensive ambitions.

Jazz Chisholm Jr. and Anthony Volpe have formed a new middle infield combination for the Yankees, with Chisholm at second base and Volpe at shortstop.
Chisholm has expressed confidence that the duo could become the best defensively in the league and lead MLB in double plays this season.
The Yankees' 2025 roster reflects a shift toward athleticism and run prevention, with significant changes to the infield lineup compared to last season.
Manager Aaron Boone and pitcher Carlos Rodón have praised the pair's athleticism, communication, and potential to improve the team's defensive metrics.
The Yankees ranked 23rd in double plays turned last season, and the team hopes this revamped infield will address defensive weaknesses from 2024.
