Forgive me if you might have heard this before, but Aaron Sanchez is feeling optimistic about a fresh start and the health of his pitching hand.
When asked by TSN’s Scott Mitchell about how he’s feeling heading into the start of another Spring Training schedule, Sanchez replied with “just watch”. Interpret that as you will, but I think it’s safe to say that he’s feeling confident about his ability to stay healthy, and to regain the form that saw him become the 2016 American League ERA champion.
The former first round pick has done his part this winter, getting surgery on the troublesome finger on his pitching hand, and slowly but surely rehabbing throughout the offseason.
