Austin Wells showcased his prowess at the plate, facing the Boston Red Sox ace Garrett Crochet, a challenge many left-handed batters struggle with. In Saturday's game, Wells hit a three-run homer and an RBI double, contributing significantly despite the Yankees' 10-7 loss. Manager Aaron Boone expressed confidence in Wells’ abilities, noting his potential to excel offensively against top pitchers.

After a rocky May with a .206 average, Wells has rebounded in June, raising his average to .333 and boasting a .956 OPS over the first five games. His recent performances reflect an upward trajectory, with a notable increase in hits. The young catcher’s success against Crochet, despite the latter’s impressive stats, serves as a confidence booster, indicating he might be on the brink of a breakout.
