WTM’S PLAYER PROFILE

Garcia got a modest bonus when he signed and profiles as a line drive hitter.  He’s not speedy and lacks a strong arm, so he’ll be limited to a corner.

2016
DSL:  206/279/299, 112 AB, 3 2B, 3 3B, 11 BB, 45 K, 1-2 SB

Garcia didn’t hit a great deal in his debut and had an extremely high K rate.

2017
DSL:  208/372/366, 101 AB, 3 2B, 2 3B, 3 HR, 22 BB, 28 K, 6-12 SB

Garcia’s average didn’t go up, but he hit for more power and his walk and K rates were sharply improved.  He had a good August, with a 244/380/415 line.

Garcia was invited to fall instructionals in 2017 and should be in the GCL in 2018.
