Yankees prospect Gary Sanchez gets call to Bronx
Yankees catching prospect Gary Sanchez is called up and could be used as a pinch-hitter.Highly regarded Yankees catching prospect Gary Sanchez is getting a “cup of coffee” in the big leagues. If he gets a chance to bat, he might just cream one.
“I could see myself pinch-hitting him in some of the games,” Joe Girardi said. “He’s a pretty big right-handed bat.”
Sanchez, 22, was told to report to Yankee Stadium on Friday night after Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre’s season came to an end when the Railriders were eliminated from the postseason. He called his wife, mother and grandmother with the good news.
“We’re all very excited,” Sanchez said.
