Records
While Sánchez never won a Cy Young or MVP, his career is marked by significant achievements. He threw a no-hitter in his rookie season, a rare feat. He led the American League in ERA in 2013, a testament to his skill. Most importantly, he was a key contributor to the Washington Nationals' 2019 World Series championship, the first in franchise history. His longevity and consistency over 16 seasons are also noteworthy, as he remained a reliable starter into his late 30s.
