“Inside the Rumored Romance: Anthony Volpe and the TikTok Star Taking Over Yankees Gossip”
It started with a blurry photo outside a Tribeca café.
Anthony Volpe, the Yankees’ promising young star, was spotted grabbing coffee with a brunette wearing a Yankees cap low over her eyes, her phone flashing a TikTok live notification just moments before they disappeared into a side street.
That brunette, fans would quickly discover, is @BaseballBabeNYC, a TikTok star known for her baseball commentary, comedic videos, and love for all things Yankees. Her real name hasn’t been publicly confirmed, but her follower count has exploded in the last 48 hours, fueled by rumors of a possible romance with Volpe.
“The Bracelet Clue”
For weeks, some of the most dedicated Yankees fans on Reddit and TikTok noticed something odd: Volpe had been seen wearing a thin, braided black bracelet during batting practice and post-game interviews. Around the same time, @BaseballBabeNYC showcased a “lucky bracelet” in one of her TikToks — a bracelet that looked strikingly similar.
“Volpe wearing it after games, her wearing it in lives. It’s the SAME bracelet,” one fan posted on Twitter. The post gained over 40,000 likes, launching a wave of speculation that the two were quietly dating.
“Secret Meetups or Coincidence?”
Fans quickly became amateur detectives, cross-referencing TikToks and Instagram stories with Yankees’ away game schedules. A TikTok of @BaseballBabeNYC grabbing coffee in Boston aligned with a Yankees-Red Sox series. Another video of her at a dog park was geotagged near a hotel in Toronto when the Yankees were in town.
No photos showed them together, but the timeline was enough to send social media into a frenzy.
Why It Matters
Anthony Volpe has been careful about his personal life since his call-up, choosing to keep the focus on his on-field performance rather than off-field drama. But the possibility of a romance with a social media personality who has built her brand around baseball presents a new dynamic for the young shortstop.
“It’s a new world,” one sports marketing expert said. “Players are no longer just athletes; their off-field relationships, especially with influencers, can amplify their brand or bring unwanted attention.”
Neither Confirms, Neither Denies
Representatives for Volpe declined to comment when reached, and @BaseballBabeNYC, when asked during a TikTok live if she was dating Volpe, smiled and answered, “I love baseball players who hustle, that’s all I’ll say.”
Fans React
Some fans are thrilled, leaving supportive comments:
“If Volpe’s happy, we’re happy. Let him live.”
Others are concerned about distractions during a pivotal season for the Yankees:
“Focus on the field, not TikTok girls.”

The Bigger Picture
