Cristian
Sanchez

VA/DC Scout Blog 4/20/18

Sanchez has a lanky frame and the arm works. Lots of projection left to him. Throws from just below three-quarters with easier effort to generate his velocity. Fastball was 88-89 in the first, touching 90 once, with hard late run. He settled into 87-89 for the next few innings and tailed off to 85-87 in the fifth. He mostly held his velocity in the stretch, working 86-88 early and 84-86 in the fifth. Threw a slider early in the game that was 80-82. Switched to his curveball later in the game that was 70-75 with hard sharp 11/5 break and some armspeed. As a whole, command and control were both off the entire day, seemed like his feel wasn't there. Very cold night, he kept battling all night despite his struggles.
