Wells <a href="https://www.mlb.com/yankees/news/austin-wells-michael-king-lead-yankees-to-win-over-blue-jays" rel="noopener">described the feeling</a> of hitting that home run in that spot.</p><p>“It’s unbelievable,” Austin Wells said, via Bryan Hoch of MLB.com. “Coming in here and having a hit like that in the late innings is what you play the game for. It felt good, and I’m glad I had the opportunity to be out there in that situation.”</p><p>Wells had struggled with the bat when he first came up to MLB alongside Jasson Dominguez at the beginning of September. However, he seems to have adjusted to MLB pitching a bit, hitting three home runs in the last week, two against the Blue Jays. The opposite-field home run against Jordan Romano on Tuesday is arguably the most impressive. The other two home runs were long blasts at Yankee Stadium.. Yankees manager Aaron Boone spoke about Wells’ adjustment and skills at the plate.</p><p>“You’ve seen from the jump that he’s hitter-ish in the box. He’s got that,” Aaron Boone said, via Hoch. “Now he’s starting to get some results and really starting to drive the ball. That’s a good one the other way off Romano. He’s starting to string together a lot of good at-bats.”</p><p>Wells is looking to be the catcher of the future for the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/yankees-reasons-fire-aaron-boone-playoff-contention" rel="noopener">Yankees</a>. His performance as of late gives some optimism looking ahead to 2024.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

It was really cool to be in here, and it was a really big group effort to get three wins here.”</p><p>Wells contributed to the Yankees’ win to end the week, going 1-for-3 with a double and a run. He went 2-for-10 with two RBIs in the Astros series. Together with Jasson Dominguez, who was also called up in time for the Astros series, Wells gave New York and its fans something to feel good about the club’s future amid a letdown campaign, all factors considered.</p><p>The Yankees, who have won six of their last seven games, will next host the Detroit Tigers in a three-game set in the Bronx that starts this coming Tuesday.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

He graduated from Marist College in May of 2022 and has written for TheKnicksWall.com and CenterFieldMarist.com in the past.</address><h3 class="op-kicker">MLB</h3><figure class="op-ad"></figure></header><p>The New York Yankees calling up their top prospects led to immediate success. They swept the Houston Astros in a road series as Jasson “the Martian” Dominguez <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/yankees-news-jasson-dominguez-joins-extremely-exclusive-aaron-judge-club-mammoth-feat-vs-astros" rel="noopener">dominated in Space City</a>. But catcher Austin Wells also impressed with his veteran-like ability to work with pitchers.</p><p>Wells recorded two hits, two RBI and a run in his first three games with the Yankees. It wasn’t the most auspicious start at the plate for New York’s new six-hole hitter. Behind it, though, is where the 24-year-old showed how he’s an ascending prospect.</p><p>Michael King, who allowed just one earned run in five innings against the Astros, already loves working with Wells. He said that the rookie catcher <a href="https://twitter.com/YESNetwork/status/1698524031786389626?s=20" rel="noopener">played a big part</a> in his first-ever win as a starter, which came against one of the best teams in baseball. King pinpointed a time when Wells tweaked his location on King’s sinker in order to put it in a great location, saying that the ability to adjust on the fly makes him “a phenomenal player.”</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">King talks about where he likes his catchers to set up for front hip sinkers and gives Wells credit for making the adjustments <a href="https://t.co/ekSXrqpO09">pic.twitter.com/ekSXrqpO09</a></p><p>— Jomboy (@Jomboy_) <a href="https://twitter.com/Jomboy_/status/1698551382318473224?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">September 4, 2023</a></p></blockquote><p><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p></figure><p>“I think he had a great gameplan going in. I think he’s phenomenal [at] adjusting. A great communicator,” King said of Wells. “We had a ton of conversations in between innings about what we think they were doing, what they were sitting on, different sequences used. I loved working with him.”</p><p>The Yankees needed an infusion of excitement after a nine-game losing streak sunk their chances at making the postseason, which now sit at 0.1 percent. Calling up Wells and Dominguez and playing them alongside other youngsters like Anthony Volpe, Everson Pereira, Oswaldo Cabrera and Oswald Peraza <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/yankees-news-jasson-dominguez-declaration-for-looming-home-debut-will-have-fans-rushing-to-buy-tickets" rel="noopener">gave them some new life</a>. Stealing a series against the archrival Astros surely made it all the more exciting to see the youngsters shine, even if it won’t reverse their playoff fortunes.</p><p>Another thing the Yankees need is a long-term opinion at the catcher spot. Jose Trevino and Kyle Higashioka are fine veteran options but won’t be major players that help the team win down the line. Austin Wells getting experience in the big leagues, even though it’s for a short while, provides him with valuable insight and learning experiences that can kickstart a productive offseason.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
