Cristopher Sanchez has Top-Five Upside as Starting Pitcher
Philadelphia Phillies left-hander Cristopher Sanchez has become a Cy Young candidate over the last two years with the Phillies after not going over 100 innings pitched in a season in his first three years in the big leagues. Sanchez has gone 24-14 the last two regular seasons with a 2.89 ERA, 1.15 WHIP, 365 strikeouts, and 88 walks in 63 starts (383 2/3 innings). The 29-year-old Dominican southpaw had a league-high 8.0 wins above replacement and also fanned a career-high 212 hitters in 202 innings during the regular season. Sanchez was one of only three starters to go at least 200 innings last year and had the fifth-best ERA of qualified pitchers. He has missed one start in the last three seasons, so on top of his dominance, he's also been durable. Sanchez was unlucky in the win department, but that shouldn't dissuade you from taking him as a top-10 starting pitcher in fantasy drafts.
