    Garland may be the best pitching prospect ever to come out of the San Fernando Valley, a region that has produced Jack McDowell and Bret Saberhagen. Garland, 17, jumped into the mix as a a potential No. 1 overall pick in February and never wavered, pitching well in marquee matchups. The 6-foot-5 Garland has a lean, loose body with free arm action, plus command of a 91-92 mph fastball and hard slider.
