Austin Wells has been named the Yankees' leadoff hitter for Opening Day, marking a historic moment as the first catcher to bat in that position. His spring performance includes impressive statistics: .372 batting average, three home runs in his last three games, and a 1.263 OPS. Other roster updates reveal that Jasson Domínguez and Ben Rice have also secured their spots for the opener. Additionally, the team feels optimistic about acquiring Cody Bellinger and Paul Goldschmidt, who aim to replicate the successful culture from last year's World Series run.
Austin Wells has been killing it from the leadoff role with three home runs in his last three games and was one of the standout Grapefruit League performers.
Cody Bellinger and Paul Goldschmidt will bring experience and pedigree to the clubhouse, providing a similar vibe to the one that made it to the World Series last year.
