There is perhaps no Yankee under more scrutiny this spring and this season than Gary Sánchez. The mercurial catcher has at times flashed MVP-level brilliance and at others has scuffled to the point of being unplayable. Given Brian Cashman’s comments over the winter criticizing Sánchez’s horrible 2020, it is fair to think that 2021 could be a make-or-break year for the 28-year-old catcher.
According to reports, Sánchez took the first steps toward rediscovering his All-Star form and re-cementing his status as starting catcher last November. Sánchez reportedly sought out help to increase his mobility, flexibility, and injury prevention.
