Uncommitted Spotlight: '26 Landon Garrido

The summer is in full swing and the Prep Baseball Nevada staff has hosted several events, all featuring some very talented uncommitted prospects. The events we have wrapped up so far this summer consist of the Las Vegas Rising Stars Games/Top Prospect Games on May 28th with a ton of upcoming talent on hand, and the Reno Top Prospect Games, featuring a strong group of prospects from all classes. 

Our staff has had eyes on hundreds of players this summer, including an in-depth look at those who performed at our events. As the summer continues, we will be highlighting some of the top uncommitted prospects in Nevada who made strong impressions, with our Uncommitted Spotlight Series.

We continue our Uncommitted Summer Spotlights with ‘26 LHP Landon Garrido. At the Reno Top Prospect Games, Garrido was one of the top arms, showing a well-rounded four-pitch mix from the left side. He sat 82–84 mph with the fastball and consistently went after hitters. His curveball came in at 71–72 mph with spin rates near 2500 rpm, showing sharp break that kept hitters off balance. He also mixed in a solid slider around 76 mph, spinning at similar rates, giving him another effective weapon. Rounding out the mix was a changeup at 72–76 mph with an average IVB of just 1.8 inches, giving it some depth and deception.

As Garrido continues to develop and add velocity throughout the summer, it will be exciting to see him turn some heads with his nasty four-pitch mix. This article will take a look at some of Landon's TrackMan pitching metrics from the Reno Top Prospect Games, all recorded in a live setting.
