An important spring for Yankees catching prospect Austin Wells has yet to get off the ground.
KISSIMMEE, Fla. — An important spring for Austin Wells has yet to get off the ground.
He was getting closer to ramping back up recently before feeling something again as he was getting worked on on the trainer’s table, according to Aaron Boone. Wells, rated by Baseball America as the Yankees’ No. 5 prospect and the No. 94 prospect overall, finished last season at Double-A Somerset.Across three levels last year, he hit .277 with 20 home runs and a .897 OPS in 92 games while missing about a month midseason to another injury.
“The big thing with Austin is we feel like he’s made a lot of strides defensively, catching, that there’s a lot of people that believe he can play that position long term and at this level,” Boone said. “Obviously we love his bat. We’ll see, but first things first is getting this injury behind him and hopefully be able to get into some games here in the next couple weeks.”
