Hits/Throws: S/R
Acquired: 2017 IFA
RuleV: 2021
Physical Description: Short and slender build lacking standout features. Wiry, athletic frame with long legs. More room for added muscle and weight as he matures. Has the physical tools to become a top-end athlete.
Hit: Active load and swing path from both sides of the plate. Hands stay well above the letters and legs stay shoulder width apart. Lots of pre-pitch movement in his hands and feet, doesn't stay set in the box. Developed a leg kick within his load to calm his approach for better contact and pitch recognition. Quick hands produce solid contact to all fields. Aggressive first-pitch swinger. Punishes fastballs in the zone, struggles mightily with off-speed stuff. Looks more comfortable from the right side, but has untapped potential in switch-hitting ability. Tools are present, lacks a refined approach. Grade: 50
Power: Struggles to hit for consistent power at this stage in his development. Lacks in-game and raw power, showed more glimpses last season. Doesn't pull the ball effectively well. Room for more power as he matures physically. Has the tools and physical ability to produce more XBH and homers. Grade: 30
Field: Has a great feel for his defensive ability. Has a smooth and quick glove-to-hand transfer. Covers ground with his athleticism. Shows the ability to play on the dirt long term. Good instincts, plays the ball consistently and effectively. Stays on his toes, turns double plays with ease. Plus tool with his overall makeup defensively. Grade: 60
Arm: Above-average arm strength and accuracy from the infield. Throws are crisp with great zip and touch.Makes difficult throws from awkward angles. Makes throws from either side in part to his strong arm. Near plus tool that bodes well for his defensive fit. Grade: 55
Run: Above-average speed and quickness. Has a good burst out of the box, translates well defensively. Lacks long strides, but has short bursts of acceleration. Has the top-end speed to steal bags. Aggressive base stealer, needs to slow down and perfect his jump to make the most of his athleticism and base-stealing ability. Grade: 55
Overall: One of the most highly touted 2018 international signings, Garcia's array of tools continue to develop. He has a true defensive skill set with crisp fielding and a near plus-grade arm. His offensive approach and ability to tap into more consistent contact and power need to improve to fulfill his sky-high ceiling.
