Yankees Players Shine as Team Prepares for Rockies Showdown

New York, NY — The New York Yankees head into their matchup against the Colorado Rockies with a record of 31-20. The game is scheduled for May 25, 2025, at Coors Field, Colorado. The Yankees have recently secured a win over the Texas Rangers, showcasing impressive performances from Aaron Judge, Cody Bellinger, Anthony Volpe, and rookie pitcher Will Warren.

Cody Bellinger began the season slowly, but has turned things around dramatically. After hitting .204 through April, he raised his batting average to .333 in May, thanks to an adjustment in his batting stance. “I’ve shifted my stance to be nine degrees more open, allowing me to pull the ball effectively,” Bellinger said. His current batting average of .333 and an increase in home runs have made him a key player for the Yankees.

Meanwhile, Anthony Volpe has also shown noticeable improvement this season. He has increased his bat speed significantly, and his hard-hit rate now places him in the 79th percentile among MLB hitters. Volpe is also on pace to surpass his previous home run total, already hitting six this season. His batting average sits at .239 with a .754 OPS, reflecting his growing power.

In the pitching rotation, Will Warren has become a rising star. After a rough start where he struggled with walks and gave up hits at a high rate, his performance has changed in May. “My sweeper is now commanding a much better batting average against,” Warren said. His BAA improved from .360 to .231, making him a reliable option for the Yankees.

The Yankees will look to capitalize on the Rockies’ struggles, as they currently hold a .173 winning percentage. Aaron Judge leads the Yankees with a .395 average, 18 home runs, and 46 RBIs, making him one of the most dangerous hitters in the lineup. In their last game against Texas, Judge hit a two-run homer, reinforcing his status as a home run threat.

The Yankees’ upcoming series against the Rockies comes at a crucial time as they seek to maintain their momentum in the American League East. With improvement from players like Bellinger and Volpe and a solid pitching performance from Warren, the Yankees are looking to extend their win streak.
