There are two ways you can assess Sanchez's lack of missing bats. Obviously the more K's the less chance the ball is put in play, thus reducing any chance of the batter reaching safely or creating a positive out. On the other hand, inducing weak contact also minimizes pitch counts and two outs can be recorded with one pitch. I think these scenarios wipe each other out and the end result is the same. Don't forget, look at all the strike out pitchers around the league that had TJS already and many more to come. Getting through seven innings on 80-90 pitches will serve the player and the team a lot better vs a higher K type who will probably burn through 100-110, unless he's elite of course.
