Philadelphia Phillies pitcher Cristopher Sanchez

Overview

In late July, the Phillies locked up right‑hander Cristopher Sanchez with a six‑year, $107 million extension after he posted a 12‑4 record, a 2.71 ERA and 151 strikeouts, finishing second in the NL Cy Young voting for 2025. The deal followed his acquisition from Tampa Bay in 2019 and highlighted his reputation for a strong change‑up‑sinker combo.

A few weeks later, Sanchez continued his dominant start to the season, becoming the majors’ first 15‑game winner. He guided Philadelphia to a 7‑3 victory over Washington, allowing just two runs over five innings. The win extended the Phillies’ recent streak and set up a home series against Toronto.

Sanchez has since strengthened his candidacy for the National League Cy Young Award. Following a 6-5 victory over the Miami Marlins, where he pitched six innings and allowed one run, he holds a 16-4 record, leading Major League Baseball in wins. His season statistics include a 2.51 ERA, a 1.22 WHIP, and 187 strikeouts over 161.2 innings.

Additionally, the Dominican left-hander recently achieved a historic streak of 50.2 consecutive scoreless innings, which is “the longest such streak by a left-handed pitcher in MLB history.” If he wins the award, he would be the first Phillies pitcher to do so since Roy Halladay in 2010.
