## Resource

The Yankees pulled off six stolen bases on Sunday — their most since 2013 — but a pivotal pickoff play against Anthony Volpe turned the tide. After walking, Volpe was picked off first base on a call overturned after a challenge, sparking his frustration over the first baseman’s foot blocking the bag — a rule he says is drilled in infielder training. The umpire stood by his call, citing the throw forcing the position, and Volpe lamented how it erased a potential run and highlighted the rule’s injury-prevention purpose. Manager Aaron Boone agreed with Volpe’s point but acknowledged such calls aren’t always consistent. Despite the team’s aggressive base running — 80 steals already this season, their highest pace since 2002 — the Yankees fell 4-1, reminding Volpe that infielders must stay razor-sharp on these nuanced rules.
