    Like many high school shortstops, it's unlikely that Sanchez will ever see a 6 written by his name on a big league lineup card, but that doesn't really dissuade scouts' interest as he has shown enough power to potentially the slide over to second or third base. Sanchez has shown average raw power on the showcase circuit with an improving bat control, although he does struggle with getting caught on his front foot too often. Sanchez is an average runner who will likely slow further as he gets bigger. His hands work well and he has good body control, but his arm will likely force an eventual position switch. He throws from a lower arm slot with a fringe-average arm that doesn't have much carry unless he sets his feet. Sanchez is one of the youngest players in the draft class--he'll turn 18 in October. He has signed with Texas A&M and has the polish to step in and play right away if he doesn't sign out of high school.
