Sanchez has more raw power than his final numbers indicate, and accessing it more frequently is what stands between him and his ceiling as a big league corner outfielder. He changed organizations in July when the Rays traded him to the Marlins in a deal that netted them starter Trevor Richards and reliever Nick Anderson.
Sanchez improved his plate coverage this season and began syncing his long levers to hit inside fastballs and drive them with authority to his pull side. He already had proven capable of extending his arms and driving pitches away from him for power. With the natural loft in his swing, Sanchez looks power before hit and will be more of a .250 hitter with modest discipline.
Sanchez is a capable right fielder with enough body control and instincts for the position.
