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
Having solid spring
Sanchez went 1-for-3 in Wednesday's Grapefruit League game against the Nationals.
ANALYSIS
The 26-year-old outfielder has been making steady contact in camp, and through nine spring games, Sanchez is batting .333 (8-for-24) -- albeit with just one double and a 0:5 BB:K. He's coming off a 2023 campaign that saw him slash .253/.327/.450 with 14 homers in 125 games, but the Marlins believe he can find another gear, and he should be locked in to the starting right field job.

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.

2018
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.
