Aaron Sanchez flashes confident, hammering curveball

Aaron Sanchez has changed a lot over the past several months, both on and off the field.

After adding over 20 pounds of bulk to his long-and-lean frame in an effort to build his endurance and durability, Sanchez has set his sights on claiming the fifth spot in the Blue Jays starting rotation.

It’s a crowded competition that, for my dollar, the 23-year-old is beginning to pull away from early this spring.

Pitching against the Atlanta Braves on Monday, who admittedly don’t come with 2:1 World Series odds, Sanchez went 3.0 strong innings allowing one run on five hits and striking out three.
