HOUSTON — Austin Wells, the rookie Yankees catcher, displayed not only his obvious talents but also his less-noticeable skills during his first major league weekend. While his double and strong throw to second base were highlights, it was his ability to make quick adjustments and read opposing swings that truly stood out. Wells impressed both his teammates and opposing pitchers, particularly Michael King, whom he hadn’t worked with before. Despite a slight mishap in calling pitches, Wells quickly adapted by setting up farther inside, demonstrating his ability to make on-the-fly adjustments. Known primarily as a strong hitter, Wells also silenced concerns about his arm by throwing out a runner attempting to steal. The Yankees have long prioritized the softer skills of their catchers, making Wells’ performance in handling the game and his awareness of its responsibilities a positive sign for his future. With his bat, mind, and glove, Wells has shown promise in his first weekend, leaving the Yankees and their pitchers impressed with his potential.
