When former MVP Bryce Harper first hit the majors, he had such an enticing drive to his repertoire that made him an instant favorite among fans and teams alike. That tenacity is exactly what New York Yankees first-rounder Austin Wells possesses, per his high school coach Gino DiMaria.
DiMaria, who coaches at Bishop Gorman High School in Las Vegas, told Brandon Kuty of NJ.com that Wells’ hustle mirrors Harper’s. “[Harper] played hard. He tried to outrun every ground ball. He did everything. That’s what you’re going to get when you get Austin Wells,” DiMaria said.
