If there’s one prospect that is flying under the radar as a potential difference maker down the road for the Orioles, it might just be Delmarva starting pitcher Alex Wells. You might know him as the “Australian prospect”, but his birth country is far from the most intriguing tidbit about Wells.
After being signed before the 2016 season, Wells has pitched in 128 innings and has toppled the competition with ease – at least on paper. His WHIP through 25 starts sits at just 0.97, paired with a 2.18 ERA.
The left-hander was kind enough to chat with us last week, in a talk where he emphasized the most important aspect of his game – keeping the ball low in the zone and inducing weak contact.
