TORONTO — After Anthony Volpe decisively won the Yankees’ starting shortstop job in spring training, he received a call from a guy who knew a thing or two about what he was getting himself into.

It just so happened to be his idol while growing up.

Derek Jeter got on the phone with Volpe at the end of camp, a call set up by Hal Steinbrenner, to share some advice for the then-21-year-old shortstop.

“Jeter was nice enough to talk to him for a little bit and give him some words of encouragement,” Steinbrenner said Tuesday on The Post’s “The Show with Joel Sherman and Jon Heyman” podcast. “It was a great meeting.”

On the final day of spring training, a day after the Yankees informed him he had won the job, Volpe was sitting down with Steinbrenner, who said he had someone on the phone with whom he wanted the rookie to speak.

“It was pretty awesome,” Volpe said Tuesday at Rogers Centre. “Just the fact that they went out of their way to set it up and did it. Obviously talking to him was pretty amazing.”

Volpe had a few encounters with Jeter as a fan while growing up, but this was the first time he really had a chance to talk with him. Jeter’s message?

“Just play and have fun. Enjoy it and embrace it,” Volpe said. “[I’m] definitely trying to do that.”

Growing up in New Jersey as a diehard Yankees fan, Volpe’s favorite player was Jeter.

During his path to the majors, Volpe had even received some Jeter comparisons for his makeup, which was part of the reason the Yankees felt confident in having him break camp with the team after he clearly outperformed Oswald Peraza and Isiah Kiner-Falefa in spring training.

Volpe has gotten off to a solid start to the season, handling himself well in the field while showing some pop at the plate and entering Tuesday 13-for-13 in stolen bases.

“I think he’s really come around hitting-wise now,” Steinbrenner said. “The defense has been solid. I thought it was going to be an extremely difficult decision. It turned out to be not so. It was almost unanimous with everybody that was in the room during that final meeting in talking about him. The right message was delivered to him: I sat down with him before camp broke and I told him, ‘You are our starting shortstop for 2023. This is not a trial. It’s going to be that way through the ups and the potential downs.’

“But for the most part, he’s just done phenomenal.”

Starting this season, Steinbrenner is having monthly closed-door meetings with Aaron Judge, Gerrit Cole, Brian Cashman and Aaron Boone to get a feel of the clubhouse.

“I thought it would be a healthy exercise to … have the leader of the position players and the leader of the pitchers in the room with Cash, with me, with Aaron, and just hear what concerns they have and what their thoughts are on everything and what we could be doing better,” Steinbrenner said.

 Steinbrenner said he has a sit-down planned “in a couple weeks” with Eric Cressey, the Yankees’ director of player health and performance, in the wake of an onslaught of injuries to the team early in the season. Cressey has been working on a report looking at what injuries are like around the league, what injuries were like in the last 10-15 years for the Yankees, and what the team can do better.

“I am not content with what’s going on,” Steinbrenner said.
