View Draft Report
Garcia is no relation to Bryan Garcia, Miami's closer who should be drafted in the first 10 rounds. Garcia has a chance to go out as well but should go later after establishing himself in Miami's rotation as a junior. He got plenty of strikeouts working in a hybrid relief/midweek starter role as a sophomore but wasn't as crisp this season. He has hit 93 mph with his fastball at times but usually sits 88-91, and he's worked with a solid changeup and fringy breaking ball. He was an eligible sophomore last year but likely will get picked this season.

After throwing 20 innings as a freshman, Garcia has stepped into a larger role this season for Miami, working as both a starter and a reliever. He performed well in both roles and became one of the Hurricanes most valuable pitchers. Garcia throws his fastball 88-92 mph, working more on the upper end of that range in short stints and with a little bit less velocity when he gets extended. He also throws a curveball and changeup, both of which have the makings of becoming average offerings. Listed at 6-foot-1, 195 pounds, Garcia isn't the most physical pitcher, but has some feel for the craft. He's a draft-eligible sophomore and is likely to figure prominently into Miami's 2016 staff if he does return for his junior year.
