Yankees pick Catcher Austin Wells in 1st round

The New York Yankees on Wednesday selected Austin Wells, a catcher out of Arizona. The Yankees went after him in the draft three years ago when he was at Las Vegas High School. Wells chose college instead and enrolled at the University of Arizona, where he has honed his skills and has proven to be a powerful left-hand hitter. This could be a huge win for the Yankees because if he doesn’t work out as a catcher, he also has played in the outfield and at first base.
