Austin Wells Projections | Platoon Splits (RHP vs LHP)
Austin Wells projected to 150 Games vs RHP and LHP with 12 team mixed fantasy value. This helps identify a player's platoon value for fantasy baseball based on pitcher handedness. These projections - combining Steamer rates and Razzball projected PA/Game and R/RBI - are a MUCH better indicator of a hitter's platoon splits than in-season stats since it involves multiple years of data and has been properly regressed to league averages. Since games are neutralized across players, values for everyday players may look smaller than for preseason/season to date/rest of season where they benefit from playing time advantages vs other players. In general, left-handed hitters have larger platoon splits.| PA | AB | R | HR | RBI | SB | AVG | OBP | SLG | OPS | BABIP | K% | BB% | $ | |

Austin Wells Fantasy Outlook For 2026
Grey Albright Player Summary Catcher rankings are incredibly fickle because there are smaller sample sizes. That’s what she said, derisively! What I mean is if 15 guys are going 15-20 homers and .230 thru .250, then a guy who goes 22/.245 with 75 RBIs is going to end up as a top ten catcher, but a guy who goes 22/.225 with 55 RBIs might barely be in the top 30, but are they that different? Meh, not really. In other words, Wells could be more valuable than Rice this year by just getting lucky on average.

| Catcher rankings are incredibly fickle because there are smaller sample sizes. That’s what she said, derisively! What I mean is if 15 guys are going 15-20 homers and .230 thru .250, then a guy who goes 22/.245 with 75 RBIs is going to end up as a top ten catcher, but a guy who goes 22/.225 with 55 RBIs might barely be in the top 30, but are they that different? Meh, not really. In other words, Wells could be more valuable than Rice this year by just getting lucky on average. |
