2026 review

Austin Wynns was a fringe backup catcher who couldn't get the bat going: he hit .146/.195/.183 with a 27.0 K% and a 5.6 BB% over 89 PA (AVG and SLG in 82 AB), with 1 HR, 4 R and 1 RBI in 34 games and 25 starts. The season was mostly transactions across ATH, ATL and TEX — designated for assignment by ATH on May 7, released May 12, he signed a minor league contract with LAA on May 16 before being traded to ATL on Jun 3, had his contract selected Jun 4, and was outrighted Jun 15; he signed another minor league deal with TEX on Jun 23, had his contract selected Jul 21, then was designated for assignment Aug 18 and outrighted Aug 20. Drafted at NFBC ADP rank 1116, he finished 1449th of 1472 in the TDK LABS 5x5 value rank and 102nd of 103 catchers. The TDK LABS card tracked the churn: by early May it had him off the active roster as a paternity-leave fill-in, and by late Jul it had him back as an emergency depth stopgap.
