After seeing Aaron Sanchez’s debut for the Houston Astros, I gave myself a quest to find something about the outing (other than the fact that it was another no-hitter) that was truly special. Something that would help me kick off the Aaron Sanchez hype train.
So I started digging in, comparing his outing with the best outings that Justin Verlander and Gerrit Cole have had this year and, sure enough, there is something there. Something that might indicate that Aaron Sanchez has the stuff to sit at the same table as these guys.
As we all expected, Sanchez’s high spin rate made him perfect for the Spinmaster General, Brent Strom.
