Austin Wells was resolute on the matter.
"I'm a catcher. I want to be a catcher," Wells said Thursday afternoon on a conference call, speaking the day after the Yankees made him their first-round pick (28th overall) in the MLB Draft.
But the lefthanded-hitting 20-year-old, who some scouts consider one of the top slugging prospects in the draft with a swing that could be a perfect fit for the rightfield porch at Yankee Stadium but whose defense may need work, was equally resolute on another matter.
