WTM’s PLAYER PROFILE
Garcia signed at age 20 in 2019.  He throws from a low three-quarters angle, with a fastball in the low- to mid-90s and a sweeping slider.

2019
DSL:  1-0-1, 3.97 ERA, 1.50 WHIP, 11.1 IP, 4.0 BB/9, 11.9 K/9

Garcia had a brief debut, making six relief appearances.  He did miss a lot of bats.

DNP

2021
R:  4-2-2, 2.73 ERA, 0.94 WHIP, 33.0 IP, 2.5 BB/9, 12.0 K/9

Pitching in long relief in the FCL, Garcia had an impressive season, putting up a high K rate and holding opponents to a .188 average.  He improved steadily during the season.

2022
A:  3-3-0, 5.76 ERA, 1.57 WHIP, 45.1 IP, 5.6 BB/9, 8.9 K/0

At Bradenton, Garcia wasn’t nearly as effective as the previous year.  Walks were a big problem, he didn’t miss as many bats, and he got scored upon in seven of his last 11 outings.

Garcia will return to Bradenton at the start of 2023.
