2025 Fantasy Outlook
Sanchez had all the ingredients of a perfect sleeper heading into last season, having produced good numbers (3.44 ERA, 1.05 WHIP) backed by strong peripherals (24.2 K%, 4.0 BB%, 57.0 GB%) in 2023 but over a small enough sample (99.1 IP) that your leaguemates might have missed it. The sleeper buzz proved accurate, as he locked down a rotation spot all year and produced a 3.32 ERA and 1.24 WHIP over 31 starts. His strikeout rate did fall from a bit above average to a bit below (20.3%), but he remained strong in walk rate (5.8%) and groundball rate (57.4%). That groundball rate in particular was an elite mark, trailing only fellow lefties Framber Valdez and Max Fried among qualified starters. Those two provide evidence that a profile like this one, with elite contact management and good control making up for merely average bat-missing ability, can find success long-term.
