Austin Wells Continues Hitting Struggles In Triple-A
1 year agoNew York Yankees catching prospect Austin Wells continued his recent hitting struggles with an 0-for-5 showing for Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. He has been ice-cold since the All-Star break, slashing .190/.279/.224 with a 30.9% strikeout rate in 15 games since July 15. Despite this, New York promoted him from Double-A on July 20; he is slashing .235/.325/.294 through nine Triple-A games. Ben Rortvedt and Kyle Higashioka are both struggling offensively in the majors, but Wells isn't likely to displace them over the coming weeks with his recent offensive performance. Despite his struggles, the 2020 first-round pick is still a premier catching prospect in dynasty and keeper leagues.
