New York Yankees scout compares Austin Wells to six-time All-Star Joe Mauer

Gerrit Cole is in New York - yes, we have video - of him pitching in the New York Yankees bullpen. Will we see him pitch this season? That's up to the MLB and MLBPA.

This is a modal window.

The media could not be loaded, either because the server or network failed or because the format is not supported.

In a perfect world, New York Yankees‘ first-round pick Austin Wells would hit .365 with 28 homers at the top level of Major League Baseball.

Wells, who grew up a Red Sox fan, would be forgiven for eternity if he could develop into what one scout believes equates to Joe Mauer, six-time All-Star catcher and first baseman.
