From June 5th to June 30th last season, Tony Sanchez was 5-for-55 at the plate, which dropped his batting average below the Mendoza line on the year.
This season, he was about on the same pace, as he hit .091 for the month, with a .399 OPS. In fact, Sanchez matched his total from last season with five hits in 55 at bats.
Also similar to last season, Sanchez was hitting the ball well through May. He had a .743 OPS this year, with seven doubles, two triples, and two homers. While Sanchez knows that the month of June was not strong, he credits some to how he has been pitched.
