Rest-of-Season Projections
2023 Fantasy Outlook
Sanchez's 2022 season was much like his 2021 season. He one again raked in Triple-A, but struggled to produce at the big league level. He saw more playing time at the big league level than he had in 2021, but was not able to put up the same level of production with the increased playing time. He did reduce his strikeout rate, but it was the only positive area of growth for the talented lefty slugger. He had 96th percentile exit velocity when he did make contact, but his strikezone discipline remains lacking and the 55 at bats he was given against lefty pitchers was 55 too many as he hit .145/145/.164 against fellow southpaws. He could function nicely in the strong side of a platoon if he could improve his strikezone discipline, and Miami would perhaps give him more confidence at the plate by removing him from the punitive matchups against lefties for the time being.

Not in lineup for first game
Sanchez is not in the lineup for the first game of Wednesday's doubleheader against the Mets, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports
ANALYSIS
The Mets have yet to announce the order of their starters for the double dip, but Sanchez's absence from the lineup suggests lefty Joey Lucchesi will start the first game and Kodai Senga will get the nightcap. Jorge Soler is playing right field in the first contest while Yuli Gurriel handles first base and Josh Bell is used at designated hitter.

Stat Review
How does Jesus Sanchez compare to other hitters?
This section compares his stats with all batting seasons from the previous three seasons (minimum 400 plate appearances)*. The bar represents the player's percentile rank. For example, if the bar is halfway across, then the player falls into the 50th percentile for that stat and it would be considered average.
* Exit Velocity and Barrels/PA % are benchmarked against 2019 data (min 400 PA) and Hard Hit Rate is benchmarked against last season's data (min 400 PA). See here for more exit velocity/barrels stats plus an explanation of current limitations with that data set.

2017
Sanchez kicked the door down at Triple-A last season, slashing .348/.406/.652 with New Orleans to earn another look in Miami after he received a brief cup of coffee in 2020. The Marlins' return for Nick Anderson a couple years back, the outfielder saw his strikeout rate shoot up from 18.7% at Triple-A to 31.1% against big-league arms, which is pretty much as to be expected. Fortunately, Sanchez was able to make his connections count with a 12.7 Barrel% and .465 xwOBA on contact. Miami brought in Avisail Garcia already this offseason and may not be done looking for outfield help, potentially leaving Sanchez in danger of falling back to the minors or to a reserve role to begin the 2022 season. Sanchez has good speed for 6-foot-3, 220 pounds, though he has not used it much on the bases so far in his professional career. The swing-and-miss, lack of stolen-base speed and uncertainty of playing time provide obvious reasons to "yeah, but" a talented hitter on the rise.
