With the 28th
Wells is a power-hitting lefty from the University of Arizona who they previously drafted out of high school in 2017. Wells dominated college pitching lately – hitting .308/.389/.526 in the Cape Cod League last summer and .375/.527/.589 in limited action this year.
I wrote an in-depth profile of Wells earlier today (thank you Brian Cashman for drafting someone I wrote about!) which you can find here. I’ll re-purpose what I wrote earlier about Wells:
Wells is exactly the kind of catcher the Yankees look for. Sanchez and recent draftees Pete O’Brien and Josh Breaux are all offensive-first catchers with questions over their defensive abilities.
