It isn't every day that you hear a young player cite Yadier Molina as his role model, but Tony Sanchez doesn't approach the game like most young players. Widely regarded as the top college catcher available in the upcoming draft, Sanchez swings a potent bat—the Boston College backstop hit .355/.455/ .640 on the season with 14 home runs—but his primary focus is on the defensive side of the ball. A 21-year-old native of Miami with emerging power to go with his unselfish approach and strong arm, Sanchez is projected by Kevin Goldstein to be selected late in the first round on June 9. After the Eagles' final regular-season game, Sanchez talked about his approach behind the plate, and his maturation into a top-round talent.
