Garcia Jr. has a sturdy frame at 6-foot, 175-pounds. 7.31, 74 if, 81 exit. The right-handed hitter has a balanced swing with quick hands that work on an inside out path, finishing high with line drive power. Good feel for the barrel with strong hands and gap approach. His best tool right now is his glove, as he plays easy catch at shortstop with clean, quick, midline transitions. Really good sense of timing and tempo as he plays through the ball with soft hands and high end glove actions. Really accurate arm across the diamond with inline shoulders and quick footwork that allow him to generate momentum and carry on the ball. Made several quality plays during the game, and moving forward, college recruiters should make sure they follow Garcia Jr. closely.

Garcia has a confident presence on the field, and rightfully so. The uncommitted sophomore has polished actions at shortstop, to go with a solid built frame at 6-foot, 175-pounds. Plays easy catch, accurate arm, smooth footwork, fast exchange, arm works from different slots and he can play on the run. The right-handed hitter has simple strength at the plate with natural lift, his barrel stays in the zone a long time. Quick hands with a short path and high finish. Expect the measurables to improve as he contines to mature, but for now, the feel to play shortstop is already present at a young age, and he will certainly be moving up the rankings.
