2025 Topps Living #871
Suddenly one of the elite pitchers in the National League, Cristopher Sanchez had a Cy Young worthy season if not for the Pirates' Paul Skenes.  Sanchez was 13-5 in 32 starts with a 2.50 ERA in 202 innings pitched.  He struck out 212 batters and his 8.0 bWAR was tops in the National League.  He made two starts in the doomed NLDS against the Dodgers, pitching to a 2.25 ERA over 12 innings, striking out 13.  With Zack Wheeler's status uncertain for the start of the 2026 season, I'm looking for Sanchez to get the nod to start on opening day.
