El dominicano Sixto S¨¢nchez usa el n¨²mero 73 en su uniforme. Pero el tatuaje con el 45 en el cuello es el n¨²mero de su coraz¨®n.
?se fue el n¨²mero de su compatriota Pedro Mart¨ªnez. Y S¨¢nchez, quien estuvo programado para hacer su debut de postemporada el jueves en el Juego 2 de la Serie del Comod¨ªn contra los Cachorros en Chicago, es un miembro orgulloso de la ¡°Generaci¨®n Pedro¡±¡ªuna camada de j¨®venes dominicanos inspirados por Pedro y que se ponen el 45 en el diamante.
M¨¢s de una d¨¦cada despu¨¦s de su ¨²ltimo juego en Grandes Ligas y cinco a?os despu¨¦s de su exaltaci¨®n al Sal¨®n de la Fama, la presencia de Mart¨ªnez se siente en estos playoffs. Espec¨ªficamente, S¨¢nchez se parece a Pedro en el mont¨ªculo con su entrega al plato, lo cual inspir¨® al inmortal de Cooperstown a calificar a Sixto como ¡°Un Mini-Yo con mejor material¡±.
¡°Desde chiquito, siempre me gust¨® la forma en que Pedro jugaba¡±, dijo S¨¢nchez. ¡°Pedro ten¨ªa buenos pitcheos¡ªcurva, slider, todo. Fue uno de los motivos por los que me enamor¨¦ del b¨¦isbol.
Oriundo de San Crist¨®bal, R.D., el derecho S¨¢nchez us¨® el n¨²mero 45 en Clase-A Avanzada y Doble-A en ligas menores, donde se estableci¨® como uno de los mejores prospectos del pitcheo. Fue la pieza clave en el canje que envi¨® de Miami a Filadelfia al receptor J.T. Realmuto en el 2019. Al ser ascendido a Grandes Ligas el 22 de agosto de este a?o, S¨¢nchez se sinti¨® obligado al ponerse el 73 que hab¨ªa usado en los entrenamientos de primavera.
¡°This kid is a mini me with better stuff.¡± - @45PedroMartinez on Sixto S¨¢nchez ?
Sin embargo, para el 2021, tiene previsto volver al 45.
¡°Es mi n¨²mero favorito¡±, dijo S¨¢nchez, quien tuvo efectividad de 3.46 y EFE+ en siete aperturas y 39.0 entradas con los Marlins en la campa?a regular.
La afici¨®n por el 45 es algo com¨²n entre los prospectos dominicanos. Cuando MLB.com entrevist¨® a las promesas en el Rookie Career Development Program en enero, preguntamos cu¨¢l n¨²mero prefer¨ªan y por qu¨¦. Tres lanzadores quisqueyanos contestaron que les gustaba el 45.
¡°Fue el n¨²mero que us¨® Pedro¡±, dijo el diestro de los Yankees, Deivi Garc¨ªa, quien hizo su debut de Grandes Ligas este a?o con el 83 (el 45 es de Gerrit Cole en el Bronx). ¡°Muchos dominicanos quieren ese n¨²mero¡±.
Hicimos una investigaci¨®n. El 45 fue usado por 162 jugadores de liga menor en el 2019 (el coronavirus acab¨® con la temporada del 2020). Uno de esos prospectos fue nada m¨¢s y nada menos que Pedro Mart¨ªnez Jr., un antesalista que jug¨® a nivel de novatos en el sistema de los Tigres el a?o pasado.
¡°Fue una elecci¨®n obvia¡±, dijo Mart¨ªnez hijo. ¡°Es el n¨²mero de la familia y quiero seguir con esa tradici¨®n. Ese n¨²mero tiene que seguir en el juego¡±.
Parece que as¨ª ser¨¢.
De los 160 equipos afiliados a MLB a nivel de liga menor en el 2019, 132 cont¨® con un jugador vistiendo el 45. De ellos, 55 (el 42%) fueron dominicanos. El n¨²mero 45 fue usado por un lanzador quisqueyano en 49 de esos 132 equipos (el 37%). Para poner eso en otro contexto, los dominicanos fueron el 22.6% de los jugadores en las menores el a?o pasado el 23.5% de los lanzadores.
Entonces, parecer¨ªa que el 45 de Pedro es algo m¨¢s que un n¨²mero.
¡°Para m¨ª, Pedro significa algo grande¡±, dijo el novato dominicano de los Astros, el derecho Cristian Javier, quien usa el 53 en las Mayores. ¡°Es uno de los ¨ªconos del b¨¦isbol en la Rep¨²blica Dominicana y es alguien que siempre admiramos¡±.
Javier, Garc¨ªa y S¨¢nchez podr¨ªan causar un gran impacto en esta postemporada. Y para ellos, ver a Pedro lanzar por los Medias Rojas en los playoffs-y espec¨ªficamente en el 2004¡ªfue una experiencia crucial a una edad joven.
¡°¡®Wow, yo quiero ser como ¨¦l¡¯¡±, recuerda haber dicho S¨¢nchez.
Est¨¢ camino a eso. En tres de sus primeras cuatro aperturas de Grandes Ligas, S¨¢nchez permiti¨® dos carreras o menos en 6.0 entradas o m¨¢s. Su recta de cuatro costuras ha promediado 98.6 millas por hora, seg¨²n Statcast, mientras que su sinker y su cambio est¨¢n por encima del promedio en torno a movimiento horizontal y vertical. S¨¢nchez ha exhibido el potencial de ser un lanzador ¨¦lite en material y comando. Y ha impresionado con su aplomo, estilo Pedro.
De su parte, Mart¨ªnez lo ha notado.
¡°Cuando lo veo, puedo ver lo que nunca pude ver antes: A m¨ª mismo pitchando en un juego¡±, dijo Mart¨ªnez recientemente en MLB Network. ¡°Creo que este muchacho es especial¡±.
Una vez vuelva al n¨²mero 45 el pr¨®ximo a?o, el jersey estar¨¦ en sinton¨ªa con su tatuaje. Fue el a?o pasado que S¨¢nchez se hizo el tatuaje con el 45, para rendirle honor a su ¨ªdolo del b¨¦isbol. Y si los datos de liga menor nos indican algo, el 45 de Pedro durar¨¢ bastante a nivel general.
