Yankees: Do They Have Too Many Catchers?

The Yankees’ selection of Austin Wells adds another to a long line of catchers.

The Yankees drafted catcher Austin Wells with their first-round pick. Wells, 20, hit .357 with an OPS of 1.035 in two seasons with the University of Arizona. This is the second time Wells has been drafted by New York — he was a 35th round pick of the Yankees back in 2018.

However, is too much of something a good thing? The Yankees don’t believe so (nor do I, for that matter).
