Austin Wells Homers, But Yanks Fall Short Against Rays
by Chase Davis | Yankees Correspondent | Fri, Jul 12th 9:20am EDT
Austin Wells went 2-for-3 with a home run and an RBI in the Yankees' 5-4 loss to the Rays.
Fantasy Impact:
His performance included a solo homer, contributing to his season tally of five home runs. Despite the loss, Wells's ability to connect for power is a positive sign, especially given his relatively low batting average of .219 over 58 games this season. His power metrics, combined with a .302 wOBA, suggest potential for fantasy relevance, particularly in leagues that value power from the catcher position. However, his high strikeout rate and low BABIP indicate ongoing challenges in making consistent contact, which could limit his upside. Fantasy managers should consider Wells a risky, yet potentially rewarding option, depending on their team's needs for power stats.
