The start of the 2020 season has been challenging for the Yankees slugging catcher. So far, Gary Sanchez is hitting .125/.222/357 and his .1 fWAR puts him near the bottom for catchers this season. During some of his at-bats he has looked lost and he still misses too many balls when he’s behind the plate. However, I am fully expecting Gary to bounce back offensively and it is not time to give up on the Kraken.
So far Gary isn’t the only catcher struggling. This offseason, the White Sox gave out their biggest contract in team history to Yasmani Grandal.
