The moment of truth seems to have arrived for Jesús Sánchez in the Miami Marlins. The Dominican, who became considered one of the great prospects of his class a few years ago, is currently being prepared for his sixth campaign in the best baseball in the world and that could end as the most decisive of all to date for him.
Sánchez, 27 years old, had been pointed out as one of the men who would mark a before and after for fish. The patrolman will be under control with the organization until 2027, so he still has, at least, three other zafras in front of him with the uniform of the combined southern Florida.
However, after a considerable evaluation margin in its first five contests in the Great Tent, 2025 appears as the year in which Sanchez must prove if the player can be around which the Marlins build their new nucleus of players or if, on the contrary, it will become another renowned piece in abandoning the organization.
The Higüey native debuted with Miami in 2020 and left a pale offensive line of .040/.172/.080, without home runs and with two towed in a total of 10 games. While it was far from being a great first impression on the “Big Show”, the ranger managed to improve in his next attempt.
In 2021 it ended with .251/.319/.489, 14 bambinazos and 36 filled in 64 duels, in addition to accumulating a 1.2 war and leaving a lot of intrigue with respect to its power.
The following tournament, Sánchez’s offensive numbers down, as reflected in his line of .214/.280/.403, with 13 home runs and 36 towed in 98 matches. His War was 1.0, but again there were flashes of his great potential.
Put them to dream
In 2023, the Marlins were able to enjoy a version much closer to the expected one, with an average of .253, 14 flycases and 52 promoted in 125 challenges, for a 1.7 WAR.
And last year Sánchez finished filling the directive and fanatic of the Marlins with hope, by disputing their greater number of commitments in the same contest (149), with an offensive line of .252/.313/.417, 18 home runs, 64 pushed and a War of 0.7.
It is clear that the Dominican has power, but Miami is still waiting for all its attributes to gather in a full season.
Now, the question is whether you can get it, finally, in 2025.
