SAN DIEGO — Austin Wells, the Yankees catcher, reflected on his challenging start to the season, where he recorded a batting average of .148 and an OPS of .468 over 62 games. He described this period as 'definitely the worst stretch I’ve had ever, probably, in my life' during a conversation late Wednesday night. Despite his struggles, Wells has shown signs of improvement as the season progresses, coinciding with the Yankees' efforts to acquire a catcher at the trade deadline, which were ultimately unsuccessful. His recent performance suggests he may have regained his form just in time for the final stretch of the season.
