Organization Prospect Rankings

• 
  Ranked Boston Red Sox #8 prospect in 2025
  BA Grade/Risk: 45/Medium.
  
  Track Record: After slow but steady development across three professional seasons, Garcia made major strength and bat speed gains after the 2023 season. He spent time at the organization’s player development complex in Fort Myers, Fla. The improvement positioned Garcia for a breakout across three levels in 2024. He rose from Low-A Salem to Double-A Portland and led the Red Sox system with 23 home runs.
  
  Scouting Report: Garcia holds nothing back in his righthanded swing, following a rhythmic leg lift with a violent hip rotation that sets in motion a furious swing meant to sledgehammer balls to his pull side. Garcia’s raw power had been evident in the past, but he got to it with significantly increased frequency in 2024, posting a 90th percentile exit velocity of 105 mph and topping out at 113. He smashed non-fastballs down in the zone, with particular impact against lefthanders in a small sample. His eagerness to mash comes with an undiscerning approach. Though he cut his strikeout rate by four percentage points year-over-year, his proclivity to chase limited his slugging in Double-A. He’ll need to narrow his sights to earn more pitches over the plate.
  
  The Future: Even with a below-average hit tool, Garcia’s power and range in center field give him a platoon floor with a chance to emerge as more than that if he becomes more selective. Garcia should open 2025 in Double-A, but after being added to the 40-man roster in November, he’ll have a chance to advance to Triple-A and become a big league depth option by the end of the year.
