Wells’ 14th residence run got here in his 274th plate look, considerably exceeding final 12 months’s tempo, when he hit 13 homers in 414 plate appearances as a rookie.

“I definitely don’t try to do that,” Wells mentioned. “I try to be in the gaps and get some hits and get on base a little bit more often, but that’s nice when they do come.”

“That’s what it starts with. Maybe his move, his load, is a little bit better, getting him into stronger positions, but he’s hit four or five balls now on the screws the last couple of times out, which is encouraging to see.”

Every of Wells’ three homers to start July had an exit velocity exceeding 102 mph and traveled not less than 372 ft.

The lefty-swinging Wells’ common exit velocity of 91.0 mph and hard-hit fee of 49.2% are each above common amongst MLB hitters and are markedly up from final season.
