Kip Wells Stats

Kip Wells was born on Thursday, April 21, 1977, in Houston, Texas. Wells was 22 years old when he broke into the big leagues on August 2, 1999, with the Chicago White Sox. His biographical data, year-by-year hitting stats, fielding stats, pitching stats (where applicable), career totals, uniform numbers, salary data and miscellaneous items-of-interest are presented by Baseball Almanac on this comprehensive Kip Wells baseball stats page.
"Somebody with the White Sox [who traded Wells last December] is going to lose his job, because this kid can really pitch. He can command three pitches and has a sneaky fastball that catches a lot of hitters off guard." - Scout's Report (Sports Illustrated, Jeff Pearlman, 07/08/2002, Volume 97, Issue 2)
