Scouting Report: Austin Allen
Chicago Cubs | C
Overall
Summary
Austin Wells, Yankees catcher and 2024 Rookie of the Year finalist, is struggling significantly in 2026. Through six weeks, he's hitting .183 with a .609 OPS, 3 home runs, and 5 RBIs in 113 plate appearances. His slugging percentage (.290) is well below his career mark (.410), and his wRC+ of 83 indicates he's 17% worse than average. Most concerning is his .105 batting average with runners in scoring position, a severe regression from his career .238 mark. This represents a continuation of offensive struggles across his three MLB seasons (.220 career average), suggesting a pattern rather than a temporary slump.
