NEW YORK -- Yankees catcher Gary Sanchez and hitting coach Marcus Thames work together every day. They talk all the time. Sometimes Thames is as much of a therapist as he is an instructor to the 25-year-old.
Lately, Thames has served heaping amounts of positivity to Sanchez.
"Even though he was hitting .180 at the end of the year," Thames told NJ Advance Media, "I told him at the end of the season, 'That's over. People are going to remember what you do in October.'"
They're definitely not going to forget when he did Saturday night.
