Future Games 2016 - At 6-foot-8, 230 pounds, Sanchez is a monster on the mound. With his length and size, the big question surrounding Sanchez was could he throw consistent strikes? On back-to-back one-inning outings, he filled up the strike zone, both with his fastball and curveball, working two clean innings. On Friday, his fastball sat 86-87 coming from a steep angle with slight arm-side run. He struck out one, walked one and induced two weak groundouts. The following day, Sanchez worked 84-86 from the same steep angle; however, his fastball had more arm-side finish to it. More impressively, he spun several quality breaking balls at 70-71 mph, one which resulted in a strikeout, his second punchout of the inning. With a few mechanical tweaks, such as getting down the mound more and keeping his front side closed, Sanchez could very well just be scratching the surface of his ascension, as his velocity has jumped 4-7 mph since we last saw him in early June. He committed to Arkansas shortly after the Future Games.
1.17.16 - Extra-large frame 6-foot-7, 220-pound well-proportioned and projectable left-handed hitting outfielder. One of the top two-way players in the 2018 class. At the event he only worked out as a position player. Offensively, compact, simple swing with excellent balance throughout his swing. Present bat speed, natural lift in swing and extension through contact. Fluid rhythm, gap-to-gap approach with occasional pull power. Balanced, wide setup, smooth pre-pitch load and short stride. Registered an exit velocity of 84 mph. Defensively, in the outfield, moves well, with body control, given his imposing frame. Reliable hands, plays through the baseball and a clean exchange. Long and loose arm action, high ¾ slot and throws were clocked at 84 mph. Also, ran an 8.01 laser-timed 60.
