Andrés Sánchez is still a bit shy, but then, who could blame the newest Republic League Rookie of the Month honoree? He hasn't been around the league long enough to fully know the ropes yet, despite the fact that he's putting up veteran-like numbers.
In June the
Atlanta hitter tagged opposing pitching for a .291 average with 32 hits, 5 home runs and 16 RBIs.
So far this season,
Sánchez has recorded a .260 batting average with 87 hits, 12 home runs, 51 RBIs, 61 runs scored and a .354 OBP.
