Morning Report: A Hidden Gem in Bradenton’s Bullpen

Isaac Sanchez had quietly been very good in the Bradenton bullpen recently. A couple years ago in Spring Training, we got some great reports about Sanchez, and it wasn't that surprising. He signed for $180,000 back in 2010 after playing in the Dominican Prospect League. His original scouting report said he could hit 92 mph, had good command of a change-up and his best pitch was a big, slow curve. Sanchez was throwing a little hard back in 2013 and doing so well that they moved him into a starting role for the first time in his pro career while at Jamestown.
