WEST SACRAMENTO, Calif. — As someone who played the game himself, Aaron Boone knows that diagnosing and fixing a hitter’s slump is easier said from the dugout than done from the batter’s box.
But as Austin Wells has continued to sink deeper into an offensive rut, Boone believes he knows what is ailing the Yankees catcher.
“I feel like he’s making a conscious effort to go the other way so much,” Boone said. “When that happens, sometimes you end up waiting, and you don’t get started, you don’t make your move. Everyone’s a little bit different in how they load and things like that. But sometimes you can get stuck and it’s just, ‘Go.’ So I don’t feel like he’s been as accurate as he should be on some pitches.
