Blue Jays' Aaron Sanchez: Working to strengthen lower body

Sanchez has been working alongside the Jays' high performance team to build lower-body strength, Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet reports.

Analysis:

Sanchez has been putting in the extra work at the Jays' Dunedin complex. Through the workouts, the 24-year-old has reportedly improved his vertical jump, range of motion and power. Sanchez put in similar efforts last offseason, and that was rewarded with a career year in 2016 that ended with a seventh-place finish in the AL Cy Young voting.
