MLB outfielder Jesus Sanchez is a potential 2022 fantasy baseball sleeper and ADP draft value. Target him as an undervalued OF.
BALLER MOVE: Draft target ~pick 205
CURRENT ADP: ~225 overall
ANALYSIS: The Marlins' young slugger was absolutely tearing up Triple-A pitching when he received his second call-up to the big league level. Sanchez continued his success putting together a strong performance in the second half of the season. Over 40 games following the break, he hit 11 of his 14 home runs while posting a 111 OPS+ and .857 OPS. While his power was on full display, as evidenced by his 113.9 MPH max exit velocity and 12.7% barrel percentage, Sanchez also showed some flaws. He hit just .251 and struck out 78 times over a total of 64 games on the season.
While he has his flaws, Sanchez definitely did enough to solidify himself as an everyday bat for the Marlins this season. While the rest of the lineup doesn't appear all too threatening, there could be some upside. Hitting in the middle of the order every day, Sanchez could have a really big season. The power will be there, there’s no denying that. The question is if he can cut down on the strikeouts and hit for a bit of a higher average. Sanchez was just scratching the surface last year, and with his pop, he could provide tremendous value this season.
