The New York Yankees have an abundance of talent in their catcher position, having successfully developed several players with considerable potential in recent years.
The Yankees have two talented backstops who have improved in the things they were supposed to work on. The Yankees have been firing on all cylinders as of late, winning nine of their last 11 contests including last night’s affair against the Minnesota Twins.
As the 2024 MLB season began, the Yankees were expected to rely heavily on veteran Jose Trevino and rookie Austin Wells as their primary catchers. Trevino has participated in 20 games thus far, while Wells has appeared in 24 games and is beginning to find his offensive rhythm after a challenging start.
Austin Wells was among the prospects promoted last season to help fill out the roster, and the Yankees knew they had a player who could anchor them at the catching position for a while.

The Yankees have started the 2024 season on a red-hot note, sitting 5–0 with another victory to open their second series of the year against the Arizona Diamondbacks.

Week four of spring training concluded with the Yankees‘ roster drawing closer to the required 26 players. With only ten short days remaining until the Yankees face the Astros on opening day in Houston, prospects are making their final case, and veterans are fine-tuning mechanics.
