Former ESPN star Max Kellerman responded to the clip.
His post had over 300 likes and 100,000 impressions.
He wrote: “Feel bad for Volpe; seemed to peak as a good major leaguer in his early 20’s, and has been declining past couple years. To challenge twice in the first inning of a minor league game is desperate. To lose both challenges is brutal. I think he’s laughing at himself.”

@gamblersbaby: “”Declining in the last couple years” when he debuted 4 years ago”
@OffTheRopez: “He is. I think he feels a little lost”
@Nobody1526138: “Agree with the desperate part. And the laughing is probably more shame and humiliation than anything else. The fact that so many people can’t recognize that and actually think he’s laughing because he doesn’t care is alarming.”
@NeekHowiftao: “playing for a giant sports team like the Yankees or the Lakers is a gift.. & a curse : ”
