Sanchez’s Slow Start

Sure things are never less sure than they are in baseball. Coming into 2018, the Yankees’ offense and bullpen were supposed to carry them and the rotation was supposed to be, at the least, a question mark. Thus far, the bullpen has had some high-profile hiccups and the rotation has been damn good. The offense–while mostly fine–hasn’t quite broken out the way we expected. Part of the reason for that is Gary Sanchez’s slow start at the plate.

Sanchez will start today with a line of .063/.091/.188. His wOBA is .124, good for a comically low wRC+ of -34.
