reliever has been used as coach, closer and middle reliever in his short tenure with San Luis
Eduardo Sanchez is sparing when he speaks. The economy of making replica phrases on the mound: effectiveness with fewer pitches. The Aragua to the point bluntly.
"The spring training helped me get a better idea of \u200b\u200bwhat could be the competition at a level at the major league prepared me mentally," he said through the telephone wire.
The pitcher made headlines in his debut in the majors, striking out five in two innings. Something that made him only in the eighth reliever who has five strikeouts in his debut since 1919 and the first in the last 13 seasons. He was the sixth that made him scoreless innings and the only one in history to get it in less than three innings, according to Baseball Reference . Before Sanchez, the right Mort Cooper, had starred in 1938 the shortest appearance of his caliber, five guillotined in three chapters, during his graduation with St. Louis.
After his debut against the Arizona Diamondbacks on April 13, Sanchez continued their domination and in his next four starts Holds got three, kept its effectiveness 0.00 in 7.0 innings with two hits, one walk and 12 strikeouts. During that time only three rivals hit on account of 3-2. None managed to get on base. As the only passport gave it to Joey Votto, Cincinnati, who was passing the fourth ball count 3-1. Few complications. All, apparently, very easy.
"I did not know those statistics, but I think it's as simple as it looks. It is simply the result of my work. I have been preparing in recent years for this moment, "he said.
The Cardinals did not need to sift through too much in their farm system when they needed three weeks ago fresh arms for the bullpen.
consistency and durability of Sanchez, who ranked seventh among the top prospects for San Luis in the Baseball America list , made him an alternative to overcome the absence of Bryan Augenstein and relievers Brian Tallet, both on the disabled list.
Sanchez began its dizzying ascent since 2009, when in 60 appearances exhibited 2.28 ERA and a WHIP of 0.92, between branches A and Double A red bird. In July 2010 he attended the Futures Game, finished the season in triple A and in November was protected in the 40-man roster.
The combination of his powerful fastball 96-97 mph sinking at the plate, and a sharp slider that moves away from right-handed hitters, have been their weapons to achieve an average life of 9.9 guillotined by nine innings.
On Wednesday, Mitchell Boggs, who has been taking care of the closure of San Luis, after the problems of Ryan Franklin was not available and Sanchez got the first save of his career, but allowed three hits and two runs before retiring Hunter Pence for the final out of the Cardinals win, 6-5 against the Astros.
were the first entries in the account of Sanchez since the start of the season. In Memphis, in triple A, had retired to the nine men he faced, with three strikeouts.
On Friday, regained the rhythm and after completing two scoreless innings, got the win in St. Louis, 5-3, over Atlanta in 11 innings.
"pitching coach, Dave Duncan, gave me important advice: No matter what happens, the bullpen should always control the emotions and recover from any failure. It's what the job requires. A reliever should be ready, regardless of the scoreboard. Exit (the mound), attack the hitters and stop them from achieving placed in circulation. "
Mexican Fernando Sanchez and Salas, who was also uploaded by San Luis, competed for the last two posts in the bullpen during spring training, but ultimately the vacancies were filled by experienced reliever Miguel Batista and long Augenstein . The coaching staff felt that the rookie had to keep learning in the minors, only that the circumstances accelerated promotion in the first month of the campaign.
According to reports from scouts, Sanchez must develop a third shipment to dominate lefties, while it needs to be more consistent with his control and refine their ability to complete when placed in two-strike hitters. In Venezuela, Aragua Tigers, had many problems, that somehow stripped the points on which to focus for further growth as a pitcher.
"I've been working on the change since he was with Memphis last year," said Maracay. "The idea is to challenge hitters with something unexpected. I am gaining confidence and I've been using that pitch more often. I will soon be part of my repertoire. That extra pitching can take us out of trouble. "
So far, lefties will link 071 (14-1) and the rights 222 (18-4), largely thanks to the lethal straight-slider combination.
"is one of the best I've seen in any of our pitchers, since I came to this team (in 2003)," said Cy Young Award winner, Chris Carpenter, in an interview with the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.
"Certainly we have been impressed," manager Tony La Russa said.
At 22 years old can still keep making adjustments to establish itself as a set-up high impact or a reliable closer in the majors.
"No matter what role I use, I'm here to do the work assigned me. I always consider myself a pitcher who can go out late in the game, seventh, eighth or ninth inning. This is what I do. "
simple philosophy
Eduardo Sanchez is not complicated. When on the mound the plan is simple: attack early the batter and then off a few pitches.
"I teach the straight and then take them out of balance with the slider. The important thing is to locate the pitches in the lower area. No hassle, while fewer shots do better. I have no reason to change the routine work that was in the minors. I prepare the same every day. "
the footsteps of "Kid"
Eduardo Sanchez's performance in his first five outings (7.0 IP, 2 H, 1 BB, 12 K, 0.00 EFE) was very similar to what did Francisco Rodriguez (5.2 IP, 3 H, 2 BB, 13 K, 0.00 EFE) for its five regular round relay in 2002, when he broke into the majors with Anaheim. Sánchez
aspires to follow in the footsteps of "Kid" on the ground. "Since I started to throw me compared to him. Hopefully and can have a career like hers. Every time I give the ball act with the same intensity. It's what you should do a reliever. "
