Elvin Garcia Stats & Scouting Report

Top Rankings

BA Grade/Risk: 50/Extreme.

Track Record: Garcia, who signed for $500,000 out of the Dominican Republic as part of Baltimore’s 2024 international class, took no time to get adjusted to pro ball as he debuted in the Dominican Summer League in 2024. He had a .943 OPS with 16 extra-base hits, more walks (27) than strikeouts (25) and stole 12 bases in the process.

Scouting Report: A switch-hitting shortstop who makes advanced swing decisions and contact, Garcia has a knack for squaring the ball up. As he physically matures and gets more experience against different shapes, Garcia has the potential to be an average hitter with average power who sprays line drives all over the field. His ability to find the barrel at this stage in his career is a standout skill. He’s athletic but also has a feel for the game, with fluid actions and plus potential at shortstop to go along with his plus arm and plus speed.

The Future: Garcia has an incredibly attractive profile, with the potential for strength gains boosting offensive upside to complement what already looks like an everyday day big league defensive profile at a premium, up-the-middle position. He’ll likely come stateside in 2025 for a run in the Florida Complex League.
