T91 2x; mild armside run; commands well to all four quadrants; works mostly east-west; lacks movement and velocity to beat batters and will need to rely on his plus command; ability for minor improvements in command due to advanced feel for pitch. |

Sanchez lacks an above-average offering, but brings advanced pitchability and feel for his arsenal. I have seen Sanchez as a starter and reliever this season, and the stuff is a tick higher when in a one-inning stint. While he will not blow his fastball by anyone, he has potential for plus command and the curveball is routinely thrown for strikes. The risk is moderate due to his lack of experience verse stronger competition, but there is a chance that Sanchez's pitchability and command will work as a middle reliever or long-man out of the pen.
