PBR MA Assistant Scouting Director 

Endy Sanchez, RHP, Suffield Academy, Class of 2015

PBR: Why did you choose West Virginia?

Sanchez: I chose West Virginia for various reasons, but couple reasons are; financially it was the best fit especially for the competition  I will be facing in the Big 12 which will test me to the fullest and I can only get better by facing that kind of competition.   Secondly, I wanted to go to a school that will forever be with me, such as being a fan of West Virginia sports after my time there and being able to talk about my experience there with football and basketball games, etc. I loved how the coaches Mazey and Matlock talked about me, mainly how they believed in me. Lastly, I loved the dedication the staff has to the baseball team, such as the Athletic Trainer, Nutritionist, strength and conditioning coach, and the coaching staff that are dedicated to baseball team only!

PBR: What other schools were you considering?

Sanchez: When I narrowed down to the schools I was considering, it was Michigan, Kennesaw St. and FIU

PBR: Now that you have your commitment out of the way, what are your goals for your senior year?

Sanchez: First and foremost I want to make it my best year academically and athletically. In terms of baseball, I want to work on things as a pitcher, being more consistent with my off speed, be smart with the pitches I throw and hit my spots more consistently. I want to walk onto WVU better than I was this past summer when they recruited me.

PBR: Who do you play for in the summer and what was the most memorable experience?

Sanchez: I played for Northeast Baseball Rays, and playing down in Georgia and Tennessee was amazing but my most memorable experience was pitching on  Vanderbilt's field after they won the College World Series.  

PBR: What person has the greatest impact on your baseball career and why?

Sanchez: Although my grandpa, Victor Morales wasn’t here with me physically to see me progress in baseball, he has still been the greatest impact on me with baseball because everything I have done was for him, he introduced me to the game of baseball and once told me before he passed away that I was going to go far in baseball "he had a feeling."

PBR: Who is the toughest hitter you've faced in the state?

Sanchez: Isan Diaz was by far the best hitter I had faced, really hard to pitch around him. Currently, Seamus Curran is one of the best hitters I have faced, he has power behind his swing, he is smart and can flat out play ball!
