Anthony Volpe says that he blacked out when he hit a grand slam in the Yankees' Game 4 win over the Dodgers.
Transcript
00:00No, I think I pretty much blacked out as soon as I saw it go over the fence but
00:06no we just want to keep putting pressure on them and I think everyone had
00:10confidence in everyone in the lineup that someone was gonna get the big hit
00:14and we've been putting having such good at-bats and putting such good swings on
00:18the ball that I mean we just felt like it was only a matter of time. I think he
00:22handles it great. He loves being a Yankee. Loves it. You know just as
00:31importantly though loves the guys he gets to go do it with every day. The bond
00:35in that room is real. As I talked about before the game like he's been won a
00:43gold glove last year. He's a finalist this year. He's great defensively at a
00:49premium position. He's had his ups and downs offensively. I'm convinced that
00:55some of the adjustments he made this year will serve him well in the long
00:59term. I think we're starting to see that here in the playoffs with the level of
01:03at-bats he's putting out. I think we're gonna look up in a number of years and
01:08you're gonna see an outstanding all-around player. Runs the bases really
01:14well. Just really good athlete and a great kid.
