The feel-good story of Friday's Media Day at LoanDepot Park would certainly have to be Sixto Snchez. Though still an extreme longshot to fracture the Miami Marlins Opening Day lineup, there is much more transparency about the right-hander's condition than there had been over the previous 2 years. His accessibility verified what we had actually already believed: he's making a severe dedication to conditioning and acquired by the Marlins from the Philadelphia Phillies in 2019, the six-foot Dominican considered in at about 234 pounds. At his heaviest, Snchez says he tipped the ranges at 260. Currently? He's down to 214. Eventually, Snchez's body fat percent is far much less relevant than the structural integrity of his ideal shoulder. In very early October Marlins Shorts, he undertook an arthroscopic bursectomy. He has progressed to throwing off a pile, yet not at full strength. The previous leading prospect who balanced around 98 miles per hour on his heater with the Marlins in 2020 is just maxing out at 88 currently.I asked Sixto what portion he's at health and wellness wise. He told me 85%. #Marlins-- Isaac Azout February 10, 2023Several bottles in advance of Snchez on Miami's beginning pitching depth chart-- Sandy Alcantara, Johnny Cueto and Jess Luzardo-- are mosting likely to be taking part in the Globe Baseball Classic. Searching for Grapefruit Organization innings for the 24-year-old while they're away will not be an issue if he gets the thumbs-up from the clinical personnel to complete.
