Gary Sanchez first broke into the Yankees lineup in 2016, hitting 20 homers and 12 doubles in just 53 games. He showed that was no fluke by putting on a show as the Yankees primary catcher in 2017, hitting 33 homers with a .278 average and an All-Star appearance. He hit a funk in 2018, batting just .186 though still with power.

In The Show 19 Player Sanchez's power at the plate is very good (84/91) but his contact skill is lacking (59/56). He is a terrific fielder behind the plate (81) and has the arm strength to get runners out (86) even if it lacks ideal accuracy (44).
