With Jose Altuve ending the New York Yankees hopes of a potential comeback in the latter part of a game six ALCS game in Houston, it leaves plenty of questions on the table to consider. First and foremost, catcher Gary Sanchez comes into question.
In a year where expectations were high, Sanchez struggled behind the plate in the postseason, hitting just .130 over nine games. He also allowed numerous wild pitches and was porous with respect to framing pitches. All around, Sanchez was below average, forcing the Yankees to continue on without support from their supposed ‘elite’ catcher.
