2025 Fantasy Outlook
If Sanchez isn't in the elite tier in terms of quality contact, he's just below it. The 27-year-old has always hit the ball hard and took it to another level last season, ranking in the 95th percentile in hard-hit rate, the 93rd percentile in average exit velocity, the 99th percentile in max exit velocity and the 83rd percentile in barrel rate. And yet, Sanchez is still looking for his first 20-homer season after smacking 18 over the boards in 537 plate appearances in 2024. He doesn't have LoanDepot Park to blame, as Sanchez has consistently hit better there than on the road and the venue is actually an above-average park for left-handed power. Strikeouts and grounders have been the problem, and while he has cut the former to at least an acceptable level (26.1 percent in 2024), the latter remains a major issue (50.3 percent). Sanchez did buoy his value with some unexpected steals last season, but with just four career stolen bases coming into the year and a sprint speed in the 46th percentile, it wouldn't be wise to count on that again. While he seems like he could be a tweak or two away from a breakout, for now Sanchez is mostly untapped potential. Read Past Outlooks

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.

Past Fantasy Outlooks

2019
2018
2017
Sanchez appeared to be a rising star for the Marlins when he put up an .808 OPS with 14 home runs over 64 games as a rookie in 2021, but he failed to build on that in 2022 and was even demoted back to the minors in August of that year. Last season represented a rebound for him overall, especially the second half, but he was more of a doubles hitter than a home run hitter while ranking in the 71st percentile of all major leaguers in average exit velocity. Sanchez needs to hit for more power -- and do it with more consistency -- in order to take the next step forward. He also must improve his paltry .201/.235/.324 career slash line against lefties or is at risk of being stuck in a platoon. Where things stand leading into 2024, the 26-year-old outfielder should only be on the fringe of fantasy consideration in standard mixed leagues.

Latest Fantasy Rumors

Targeted by Astros
The Astros have shifted their focus to a potential trade for Sanchez, Mark Feinsand of MLB.com reports.
Analysis
Houston hasn't been able to make progress in talks to acquire Ryan O'Hearn before the trade deadline, so Sanchez is being discussed as a fall-back option. Both O'Hearn and Sanchez represent left-handed power bats, but Sanchez just hasn't been as prolific this season. Sanchez has a .740 OPS with 10 home runs and nine steals in 86 games this season for Miami.
