How old is Wells? Is he age appropriate to this level? If not, where should he be?

Wells is 19, younger than most players in the NY-Penn League.

[McLovin]

He's definitely too good for Aberdeen. Maybe they are holding him back because his secondaries need a lot of work.

He's definitely too good for Aberdeen. Maybe they are holding him back because his secondaries need a lot of work.

After seeing Peluffo get wrecked when he was quickly bumped to Delmarva, I think it's best for Wells to ride it out in the NYPL this summer. He's going to be in Delmarva next season and I see no reason to disrupt his rhythm. Let him work on those secondaries and build confidence in Aberdeen.

I'm not arguing that Wells needs to be promoted, but there's a big difference between being promoted from Aberdeen to Delmarva and being promoted straight from the GCL to Delmarva.

Nope, his secondaries can be plus pitches at times. I'll have more on him soon after seeing him last night!

Although his outing was bad overall, Wells struck out 7 batters in only 3 innings pitched.

However, he also walked 3 batters in those 3 innings pitched.

One of the really bright spots of the minor league season.

I see that Alex Wells and his twin brother Lachlan will be pitching for Australia in the WBC.     It would be cool to catch him on television.

Orioles Prospect Season in Review: Alex Wells

Saw this a couple of days ago:

Quote

Wells and the WBC: Orioles left-handed pitching prospect Alexander Wells was named to the roster for Australia for the World Baseball Classic. But we may not see him pitch in the WBC. He is not among their group of pitchers listed for their play to start the WBC. I am told he could pitch later in the tourney should Australia advance. That could be a problem since Australia, which is 1-8 in three previous WBCs, is in Pool B with Japan, Cuba and China. Only two of the four squads will advance.
