The relationship between catcher and starting pitcher is a delicate one that relies on trust and support.
New York Yankees catcher Austin Wells embodied what it means to support his battery mate, Marcus Stroman, on Thursday night.
As Stroman rocked his typical pinstripe durag under his hat—something he does for every home start—Wells followed suit in solidarity for his teammate.
