Austin Wynns worked into the Orioles catching platoon this year and maybe beyond

Originally drafted by the Orioles in the 10th round of the 2013 MLB Draft, catcher Austin Wynns has spent the past five plus years in the minor leagues. He made his major league debut this year at age 27.

When he was called up, Wynns was ranked as the Orioles’ 22nd best prospect on MLB Pipeline, as detailed in Tyler Young’s in-season article on the young catcher. Wynns started 2018 in the minor leagues with the Norfolk Tides, batting .230/.288/.345 with four home runs and 16 RBI in 139 at-bats.
