Pitcher Alex Sanchez set six all-time baseball records at UCLA, but he developed his athletic gifts at Antioch High.  1984 was a great prep year for Alex.  In basketball: First Team All-DVAL and League MVP as well as the DVAL’s top scorer.  In baseball: he had the game-winning hit in the CVAL championship game and led the AHS Panthers in their North Coast Championship victory against Hayward in the Oakland Coliseum.  Alex was drafted by the Chicago Cubs straight out of high school in the 20th round in 1984, but chose to attend college first on a baseball scholarship.  The UCLA years were fruitful.  Alex still holds the single season all-time record for 16 wins, set in 1986, and was named to Baseball America’s First Team.  Alex’s unbroken UCLA records, set between 1985-1987 include; career total wins (27), career games started (58), career innings pitched (341), all-time career strikeouts (328) and single season games started (23).  The 6’2”, 185-lb. hard-throwing right-hander was drafted again in 1987, the #17 overall pick in the first round by the Toronto Blue Jays.  In 1988, his best minor league year, he was 12-4 and was an All-Star game starter.  Alex made his major league debut as a starting pitcher against the Minnesota Twins on May 23, 1989.  His nine-year pro career included stints with Kansas City, Seattle, San Diego and Oakland’s franchises.
