EDGE Analysis
Sanchez's Grapefruit League debut lasted 31 pitches (19 strikes) and saw his fastball sit comfortably between 96-97 mph. He leaned heavily on his heater, as he does, but also mixed in a series of good curveballs and the occasional changeup, a pitch Sanchez has been diligently working on refining. Last year's breakout star used his changeup on less than 10 percent of his deliveries, but hopes to turn the off-speed pitch into a weapon this season.
