One of the most consistent performers of the 2018 Yankees has been Gary Sanchez. The 25-year-old catcher is having another excellent season in the batter’s box and continues to add to his resume as one of the most impressive youngsters in the MLB.
However, questions continue to persist about Sanchez on the defensive side of things. Does he allow too many balls to get by him? How well does he work with the pitchers? Should he be benched for the more steady Austin Romine in a crucial game?
These questions are fair to ask, but when you look at the big picture, Sanchez, in just his third season, is already the American League’s top catcher by far.
