BA Grade/Risk: 40/High
Track Record: Cabrera was inked by the Mets out of the Dominican Republic in 2019, the same class as Alexander Ramirez. Sanchez signed late in the period, on Halloween, more than three months after it opened. He made stops on the development list and injured list in 2022 and ultimately pitched just 35.2 innings in the regular season. He made up for those lost innings in the Arizona Fall League and then was traded to the Marlins in the deal that sent Elieser Hernandez and Jeff Brigham to the Mets.
Scouting Report: Sanchez is primarily a two-pitch reliever prospect who pairs a hard, sinking fastball in the high 90s with a hard-darting slider in the low 90s. His fastball touched 100 mph in the AFL. He also added a four-seamer in the upper 90s. He has a tough time finding the zone--his strike rate at High-A Brooklyn was just 57%--because of a frenetic delivery with lots of moving parts and a head whack. Still, all of his pitches show late life, giving him the upside of a late-inning option if he can throw more strikes as he moves up the ladder.
The Future: Sanchez should reach the upper levels for the first time at some point in 2023. He'll need to smooth out his delivery to harness his enviable mix and reach his ceiling.
Scouting Grades: Fastball: 60. Slider: 60. Control: 30
