Blue Jays' Aaron Sanchez: Shakes off rust in spring debut

Sanchez pitched 1.2 innings, allowing two runs on three hits and one walk while striking out one in Saturday's game against the Phillies.

Analysis:

Sanchez's Grapefruit League debut lasted 31 pitches (19 strikes) and saw his fastball sit comfortably between 96-97 mph. He leaned heavily on his heater as usual, but he also mixed in a series of good curveballs and the occasional changeup, a pitch he's been diligently working on refining. Last year's breakout star used his changeup on less than 10 percent of his deliveries, but hopes to turn the off-speed pitch into a weapon this season.
