Gary Sanchez’s home run barrage has certainly been fun to watch, but there’s also a lot we can learn from his impressive show of power.
Although Aaron Judge and Tyler Austin set the standard with literally the best major league debut a hitter can possibly have, Gary Sanchez is on his way to one of the best first months from a rookie in years. The catcher has terrorized pitchers in his first 19 games, launching nine home runs and five doubles. He’s impossibly hot at the moment—a force to be reckoned with at the plate.
