Agreed. Although I don't follow all teams, I cannot think of a starting catcher in MLB who is worse at framing pitches than Sanchez. Anyone watching a Yankees game and focusing on this aspect of defense would notice almost immediately and quite noticeably how poorly Sanchez frames pitches. It almost looks likes he's fighting the ball much of the time rather than receiving it.
