Wells

Wells is a senior arm that has really taken a step up this spring. A durable, projectable, 6-foot-5, 220 pounder - we have always seen Wells as a projectable strike-thrower however his stuff has ticked ahead of schedule. The High Point recruit has held 87-90 through two looks this spring, and touched 92 mph on his best bullet in my last look. The fastball works downhill from an over-the-top slot and he shows the ability to command it to both sides. Wells shows feel to land a big, 70-73 mph curveball - and he can locate the fastball / breaking ball in any count, keeping opposing hitters off balance. I also liked his 78-82 mph changeup - he used it more to LHH but flashed it to RHHs, and it works with arm-side fade. Wells has turned into the ace of a talented Zionsville staff and our staff has been extremely impressed with his progress this spring.
