Undrafted out of high school in Puerto Rico and lightly scouted during his one junior-college season, Garcia turned out to be the sleeper of the AZL season. Drafted as a catcher after being a corner infielder this spring Garcia spent most of his AZL season at first base while also seeing time at third base and getting in one game both at shortstop and one behind the plate. He's athletic enough to also play at either of the corner-outfield spots. He's got a solid-average arm, and while he's a below-average runner he makes up for it with his athleticism. Regardless of where he plays on the field, Garcia's bat is what will carry him. A patient hitter, he has quiet hands at the plate and barrels balls well, making consistent hard contact. He also stands out for good strike-zone discipline, and he has room to get stronger and hit for more power. "He's not afraid to swing it," Brewers manager Tony Diggs said, "but he has an idea of how to lay off balls out of the strike zone."
