It’s hard not to love Baltimore Orioles left-handed pitching prospect Alex Wells. From his Australian accent to his big glasses, Wells looks more like someone trying to get a job on Sig Mejdal’s analytics team when not in his Bowie Baysox uniform, but on the mound, he’s been one of the top pitchers in the Eastern League, armed with a smooth delivery and big-league potential.
At just 22 years of age, the Australian-born pitcher took a major step in 2019, trading in his Frederick Keys jersey for Baysox gear as he made the jump from the High-A Carolina League to Double-A.
