Wells was an excellent control pitcher who led the American League in BB/9 four times and was in the top ten in that stat 12 times. He also led the AL in SO/BB once (1998), and again he was in the top ten in that metric 11 times. Wells, who threw a perfect game in 1998, would also finish third in Cy Young voting, and he would help his New York Yankees win the World Series. Two years later, when he was with the Toronto Blue Jays, he was first in Wins, and again was third in Cy Young voting.
Over Wells long career, he also played for Detroit, Cincinnati, Baltimore, Chicago (AL), San Diego, Boston, and Los Angeles.
