Unless you live under a rock, you understand just how astonishing Gary Sanchez’s rise to superstardom with the New York Yankees has been.
Despite being a full-time major league ballplayer for less than two months, he has already won the AL Rookie of the week twice, Rookie and Player of the month for August, and was named the catcher for MLB Pipeline’s Prospect Team Of The Year.
In fact, “astonishing” is apparently a full-fledged understatement. This kid’s performance stems from an alternate universe.
With 130 at-bats under his belt, he is officially eligible to win the American League Rookie Of The Year award and his case is quite convincing, to say the least.
