WTM’S PIRATE PLAYER PROFILES
Sanchez is a very tall lefty who’s struggled with significant control problems.  He was throwing in the mid-80s early in training camp in 2013.

2010
DSL:  4-0-0, 4.02 ERA, 1.56 WHIP, 31.1 IP, 6.9 BB/9, 6.6 K/9

Sanchez showed some promise in his debut despite control issues.  He had a 2:1 ground out to air out ratio.  Aside from one start, the Pirates used him in relief.

2011
DSL:  0-0-0, 13.50 ERA, 3.47 WHIP, 12.2 IP, 15.6 BB/9, 2.8 K/9

Sanchez had a lost season due to an inability to throw strikes.

2012
DSL:  3-6-3, 3.86 ERA, 1.35 WHIP, 44.1 IP, 5.3 BB/9, 5.9 K/9

Sanchez was in camp to compete for a GCL roster spot for 2013.
