Wells took steps toward proving himself with his bat, with his arm and notably with his brain in a sweep of the Astros that culminated with a 6-1 win on Sunday.
HOUSTON — There are the obvious positive attributes that have stood out about Austin Wells through his first major league weekend: a blasted double Sunday that marked his second career RBI and a pinpoint throw to second base that nailed the first base-runner who tried to steal on him.
The two had never worked together — Wells remembers hitting against King in spring training but not catching him — and yet Wells studied enough, knew enough about King’s arsenal and knew what adjustments to make quickly.The 24-year-old Wells was tested quickly. “Those quick adjustments he’s able to make,” King said after he lasted five innings allowing just the one run, “I think make him a phenomenal player.”He has hit at every stop in his professional climb and showed off some natural lefty power with his first extra-base hit, a ninth-inning double to right-center.
Wells caught the pitch and released a perfectly placed dart to Gleyber Torres, who applied the tag in time.
