Gary Sánchez, nicknamed "El Kraken," is a Dominican professional baseball catcher currently playing for the San Diego Padres. He previously played for the New York Yankees, Minnesota Twins, and New York Mets. Known for his prodigious power and strong throwing arm, Sánchez quickly rose to prominence with the Yankees, becoming an All-Star in 2017. While his offensive potential is undeniable, he has also faced scrutiny throughout his career regarding his defensive abilities, particularly his passed balls and framing skills. Despite these criticisms, Sánchez remains a potent offensive threat and a player capable of changing a game with one swing.
