Austin Wells powers Yanks past Orioles
by Chris Schommer | Yankees Correspondent | Sun, Jul 14th 7:08am EDT
Austin Wells went 1-for-4 with a home run and three RBI in the Yankees' 6-1 victory over the Orioles.
Fantasy Impact:
His performance was highlighted by a key home run that helped pad the Yankees' lead. Despite a season batting average of just .220, Wells's ability to drive in runs was on display, bringing his RBI total to 20 for the season. His power numbers are decent for a catcher, with six homers now on the year. Fantasy managers should view Wells as a potential power source, but his low batting average and high strikeout rate could be a concern in batting average leagues. His value remains higher in formats that reward power and RBI from the catcher position.
