Former Blue Jay Aaron Sanchez set to pitch for Mexico in 2026 WBC
"Sanchez's most recent action in affiliate baseball was with the Blue Jays in 2024, where he had a 7.92 ERA with the Triple-A Buffalo Bisons. He didn't pitch until late 2025 after being cut, but upon his return, he showed the promise he once had. Over 46.1 innings pitched with the Toros del Este in the Dominican Winter League, Sanchez posted a 1.55 ERA in eight starts. He pitched so well that he earned the league's Pitcher of the Year award."
"Early in Sanchez' career, the right-handed pitcher had a ton of promise. The Jays selected him 34th overall in the 2010 draft, as he made his big league debut in 2014. Over 33 innings that season, Sanchez had a 1.09 ERA and 2.80 FIP, appearing out of the bullpen for all 24 games. Most of his 2015 season was out of the bullpen as well, as Sanchez started 11 of the 41 games he appeared in."
Aaron Sanchez agreed to pitch for Mexico in the upcoming World Baseball Classic following a strong resurgence. After a difficult 2024 with a 7.92 ERA for Triple-A Buffalo and being cut, he did not pitch again until late 2025. Sanchez dominated in the Dominican Winter League with a 1.55 ERA across 46.1 innings and earned Pitcher of the Year. Early career highlights include a 2014 debut with a 1.09 ERA, a mixed 2015 role, and a stellar 2016 season (3.00 ERA in 192 innings) before blister issues in 2017 and subsequent performance declines and a 2019 trade to Houston.
