2024 Fantasy Outlook
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. Read Past Outlooks
Swipes bag, reaches four times
Sanchez went 3-for-6 with a walk and a stolen base in Thursday's extra-innings win over Minnesota.
ANALYSIS
Sanchez drew a walk in the fifth inning and then reached base on singles in each of his next three trips to the plate, but he was left stranded on each occasion. He was, however, able to swipe his 15th bag of the season and his fifth in the month of September while also extending his hitting streak to five games. The performance marked Sanchez's eighth game this season in which he tallied three or more hits. On the downside, he's struck out multiple times in three straight contests.

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'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.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Breakout campaign?
Sanchez is slashing .287/.362/.543 with an elite .314/.397/.537 expected slash line through 105 plate appearances this season.
ANALYSIS
After struggling to a .214 average and a .683 OPS across 93 games last season, Sanchez looks reinvented in his age-25 campaign. He's punishing fastballs, hitting .392 after posting a lackluster .236 average in that category last season. Sanchez is due for moderate regression, but he's a worthy dynasty add and could deserve roster consideration for any manager with flexibility.
