Physical Description: Solidly built but does not possess much strength. Has some room to fill out. Average athlete.
Hit: Switch hitter; initial stance is same from both sides, but footwork varies. From the right side he has a wide base and is slightly open with a minimal leg kick. Keeps his weight on his back foot and steps into the pitch. From the left side he starts wide and slightly open but brings his legs together to varying degrees as he loads. Takes a bigger step into the ball. Good hands and quick bat from both sides. Looks more comfortable and makes better contact from the right side in BP. Limited looks from the right side in-game. Shows an ability to go the opposite way from the left side. A present slap hitter. Swing can get long from both sides leading to some swing and miss issues. Inconsistent approach. Has good bat to ball skills and fights off pitches. Flashes an ability to lay down bunts Grade: 45
Power: Below-average raw power. Does not drive the ball and will not be a power threat without either additional strength or a more consistent approach. Grade: 30
Field: Moves well laterally in the field. Average range. Makes the routine plays at 2B. Lacks the arm and range necessary for the left side of the infield. Grade: 50
Arm: Average arm strength. Quick transferer. Balls were on target to 2B and 1B in limited looks. Grade: 50
Run: Flashes plus speed down the line from the left side. Timed between 4.10 and 4.15 in several looks. Unable to get a time from the right side. Grade: 55
Overall: Garcia possesses little power projection and will need to maximize the hit tool to reach the big leagues. He has the underlying bat to ball skills to see growth in the tool, but even that will not ensure him a spot in a future lineup. His defensive chops are well suited for 2B and the tools don't translate to other positions on the dirt.
