The Toronto Blue Jays signed infielder Juan Sanchez during the International Free Agency period this offseason, and it's looking like a brilliant signing already.
Sanchez is in Rookie Ball playing for the Dominican Summer League's Blue Jays Red, and is performing exceptionally in his first professional season.
After his August 9th game, at the plate, he's slashing on the season .333/.443/.552 with a .995 OPS, seven home runs, 42 runs, and 37 knocked in.
The 17-year-old also possesses great vision at the plate, drawing 25 walks compared to 38 strikeouts over 221 plate appearances with seven games remaining in the DSL season.
It's more impressive knowing that Sanchez has only played in 49 of the team's 65 games played.
Juan Sanchez may be the best International signing since Vladimir Guerrero Jr

Sanchez, being 6-foot-3 and 180 pounds, has a strong arm that'll make him a perfect fit on the left side of the infield, but his size may be a better fit for third base.
Although Sanchez is a few years away from being ready for the MLB level, fans should be excited about what this prospect has to offer.
