BA Grade/Risk: 45/High

Track Record: Moore bypassed the draft out of high school and enrolled early at Arkansas for the 2020 spring and was off to a strong start as a 17-year-old before the pandemic ended the season early. After an outstanding 2021 season, Moore looked positioned to be a first-round pick in 2022, but instead he hit .232/.374/.427 in 65 games. The Brewers drafted him in the supplemental second round with the 72nd overall pick and signed him for $800,000.

Scouting Report: Moore is small but has an outstanding baseball IQ, which is no surprise as the son of former Royals president Dayton Moore. A switch-hitter with an aggressive swing, Moore's performance dipped in 2022 but he didn't have a high strikeout rate, lending optimism for him to bounce back. Moore had no trouble catching up to good velocity, but several scouts thought he got too pull-oriented in an attempt to show he can hit for power, rather than maintain an all-fields approach. His offensive game should center more around his OBP skills, with power for 10-15 home runs. An above-average runner, Moore's defensive game didn't slump. He's an instinctive second baseman who has a chance to be an above-average defender with an average arm. He should see time at shortstop as well, but his future is at second base.

The Future: The underlying skills are there for Moore's offensive game to rebound from his 2022 performance. If that happens, Moore could develop into an everyday second baseman who offers value on both sides of the ball.

Scouting Grades: Hit: 50. Power: 40. Run: 55. Field: 55. Arm: 50.

Track Record: As an amateur in Venezuela, Lara wasn't getting much attention early in the scouting process as a slender 5-foot-6 outfielder. The Brewers have been as aggressive as any team in Venezuela and watched him develop into an explosive athlete with impressive game skills, and signed him for $1.1 million when the international signing period opened on Jan. 15, 2022. He drew more excitement after making his pro debut in the Dominican Summer League.

Scouting Report: Lara is a quick-burst athlete with a sweet swing from both sides of the plate. It's a short, quick swing with good rhythm and timing. He has strong bat-to-ball skills with a 12% strikeout rate in the DSL and a solid grasp of the strike zone for his age. Lara is small but he isn't a slap hitter, and takes aggressive swings with good bat speed from both sides of the plate with exit velocities up to 108 mph. Some scouts question his future power because of his size, while others think he could hit 20 homers in the big leagues. He's a 70 runner on the 20-80 scale with a quick first step and good range in center field, where he has a solid-average arm.

The Future: A potential tablesetter at the top of a lineup who can play a premium position, Lara has been an arrow-up player and the most exciting Latin American signing in the system beneath the full-season level. He should make his U.S. debut in the Rookie-level Arizona Complex League, though time at Low-A Carolina by the end of the year is possible.

Scouting Grades: Hit: 55. Power: 45. Speed: 70. Fielding: 50. Arm: 55.

BA Grade/Risk: 45/High

Track Record: Uribe was 18 and touching the low-90s when the Brewers signed him for $85,000 out of the Dominican Republic in 2018. By the next year, Uribe reached the mid 90s, and by the end of 2020, he reached 101 mph. Uribe made two appearances in 2022 before missing the rest of the regular season to have left knee surgery for a torn meniscus, though he returned for the Arizona Fall League and the Brewers added him to their 40-man roster after the season.

Scouting Report: Few pitchers in the world can match Uribe's raw velocity. The relief prospect regularly operates in the upper 90s, consistently touches triple digits and has hit 103 mph, though some scouts have said Uribe's fastball is more hittable than the radar gun readings might suggest. Some of that might stem from poor fastball command. Uribe is a high-energy pitcher with an aggressive, up-tempo delivery he's still learning to corral, which leads to poor control. He throws a slider with power in the upper 80s and has shown improvement to flash as an above-average pitch. Uribe has a changeup but it's rare for him to throw one.

The Future: If Uribe can tame his wildness and throw a more consistent slider, he has the stuff to pitch high-leverage innings. If not, he will join a long list of flamethrowers who were never able to translate it into big league success.

Scouting Grades: Fastball: 70. Slider: 55. Changeup: 30. Control: 30.

BA Grade/Risk: 45/High

Track Record: Rodriguez pitched in junior college at Florida Southwestern State when the Brewers drafted him in the sixth round in 2021 and signed him for $250,000. He has been a pleasant surprise in the system since then, winning the organization's minor league pitcher of the year award in 2022.

Scouting Report: In a system that's lighter on pitchers, Rodriguez sticks out for the success he's had and his feel for pitching. He pitches at 89-93 mph and touches 95 with good control of his fastball. His best pitch is an above-average changeup at 83-86 mph with a lot of fading action at 17 inches of horizontal break to keep hitters off balance. Rodriguez also throws a fringe-average slider in the low-80s that spins around 2,400 rpm and is an effective pitch at the lower levels but will get tested against more advanced hitters. He dabbles with a low-70s curveball to give hitters another look as well. Rodriguez doesn't have knockout stuff, but his feel for mixing his pitches, changing speeds and moving the ball around the zone has yielded good results.

The Future: Rodriguez will get his first test at the upper levels in 2023 when he gets to Double-A. There's a split camp among scouts about whether his future will be in a rotation or a relief role, but the upside is there for a back-end starter.

Scouting Grades: Fastball: 45. Curveball: 40. Slider: 45. Changeup: 55. Control: 50.

BA Grade/Risk: 45/Very High

Track Record: Henderson was the NJCAA Division I pitcher of the year as a true freshman in 2021 when he led McLennan (Texas) JC to a national title. His 169 strikeouts led the country and he walked 23 in 97.2 innings with a 1.66 ERA that ranked third in the nation. The Brewers signed him that year for $495,000 as a fourth-round pick. During spring training in 2022, Henderson had an avulsion fracture on his throwing elbow, which required surgery and kept him out of action until August. Henderson ramped up during instructional league to pitch in the Arizona Fall League, but when he felt arm soreness there, the Brewers scrapped those plans and shut him down.

Scouting Report: Henderson has a compact, 5-foot-11 frame and pitches off a low-90s fastball that can hit 94 mph. The velocity doesn't stand out, but it's a lively pitch with good carry up in the zone. His changeup is a plus pitch with more than 10 mph of separation off his fastball at 78-80 mph. It's a deceptive pitch with late tumble and fade, a swing-and-miss weapon he's comfortable throwing to both lefties and righties. When Henderson returned in 2022, he didn't throw his breaking ball much, but he shows some feel for a slider with slurvy action. Henderson's ability to control his three-pitch mix and use his fastball in all quadrants of the strike zone helps everything play up.

The Future: Henderson's 2022 campaign raised red flags about his durability. If he's able to answer those questions, he has the stuff and pitchability to project as a back-end starter with a chance for more.

Scouting Grades: Fastball: 50. Slider: 50. Changeup: 60. Control: 50

BA Grade/Risk: 50/Extreme

Track Record: When the international signing period opened on Jan. 15, 2023, the Brewers' three biggest signings were a pair of shortstops from Venezuela--Kevin Ereu and Filippo Di Turri--and Rodriguez, an outfielder from the Dominican Republic. So far, Rodriguez looks like the most advanced prospect of the group with his well-rounded skill set.

Scouting Report: Rodriguez has an athletic frame and was one of the better in-game hitters in the Dominican Republic for his class. He has a selective approach for his age with the ability to recognize pitches and stay disciplined in the zone, which helps him tap into his considerable raw power. He's showing flashes of plus raw power already and should be able to tack on more once he fills out, giving him a good balance of patience and power. Rodriguez isn't a burner, but he is athletic with slightly above-average speed, giving him a chance to at least start his career in center field.

The Future: Milwaukee's international signings have tilted more toward Venezuelan prospects in recent years, but Rodriguez is one of the most talented players the Brewers have signed out of the Dominican Republic lately. He should make his pro debut this year in the Dominican Summer League.

BA Grade/Risk: 40/High

Track Record: After having Tommy John surgery in college, Small returned to Mississippi State as a redshirt junior in 2019 to lead the Southeastern Conference in strikeouts and rank second in ERA. The Brewers' first-round pick at No. 28 overall that year, Small reached Triple-A in 2021, but his stock has dropped since then. He started 2022 with an ERA of 0.77 through five April starts and made a pair of major league appearances in May and July, but from June on he had a 6.82 ERA as he struggled with walks and moved to the bullpen at the end of the year.

Scouting Report: Small pitches at 89-92 mph and can reach back for 95. It's not big velocity, but when Small is at his best, he's able to keep hitters off balance by liberally mixing his plus changeup. He sells his changeup like a fastball out of his hand, then it tumbles underneath bats to rack up whiffs with lots of separation off his fastball at 78-81 mph. Finding a reliable breaking ball has been a focal point for Small, who has made some progress with a slider, though it's still a below-average pitch. Small drew praise for his pitchability coming out of college, but he got into trouble last year because his control escaped him. He walked 13% of hitters in Triple-A, and especially struggled to land his offspeed stuff in the zone. That allowed opponents to get ahead in the count and tee off on a hittable fastball.

The Future: Entering his age-26 season, Small will need to improve his control to carve out a big league role, which is looking more likely to be in relief. He probably opens 2023 back in Triple-A.

Scouting Grades: Fastball: 40. Slider: 40. Changeup: 60. Control: 40.

BA Grade/Risk: 40/High

Track Record: When the Mets signed Valerio for $10,000 out of the Dominican Republic in 2018, he was a 5-foot-7 infielder who didn't have any great tools, but the Mets liked his instincts and feel for hitting. Traded to the Brewers in January 2019 in a deal for outfielder Keon Broxton, Valerio reached Double-A as a 21-year-old in 2022. After a torrid April, Valerio was hitting .260/.331/.450 by the end of June, but his performance tumbled in the second half, dropping to .228/.313/.357 for the year.

Scouting Report: When he's at his best, Valerio shows good bat control to make frequent contact and maintains a disciplined offensive approach with a 10% walk rate and 17% strikeout rate in 2022. Valerio has well below-average raw power but added loft to his swing in 2021, which resulted in a surprising 11 home runs, but in 2022, his power numbers cratered in the second half. After June, he hit just four extra-base hits with two home runs in 52 games, and his exit velocity numbers declined as well. Valerio's offensive game will have to carry him because he's a below-average defender with a below-average arm at second base. He's an average runner who also spent time in left field, but he doesn't have the offensive impact to project there.

The Future: Getting stronger to withstand the rigors of a full season will be critical for Valerio. Given his second-half struggles, he could return to Double-A Biloxi to start 2023.

Scouting Grades: Hit: 45. Power: 30. Speed: 50. Fielding: 40. Arm: 40.

BA Grade/Risk: 45/Extreme

Track Record: Throughout the scouting process as a teenager in the Dominican Republic, Mendez grew taller and started to show more consistent contact skills as his Jan. 15, 2021 signing date approached and signed with the Brewers for $800,000. After a strong debut that year, Mendez was one of the youngest players in the Low-A Carolina league in 2022 as an 18-year-old who showed a high-contact bat, albeit with limited damage.

Scouting Report: Mendez stands out for his patience and hand-eye coordination. He drew nearly as many walks as strikeouts in 2022 with a 14% walk rate and a 16% strikeout rate. He's a selective hitter with an accurate barrel, and seldomly misses when he swings at a pitch in the strike zone. Mendez will need to find a way to tap into more power, a process that will involve both getting stronger and likely changing his swing. There is bat speed and more physical projection in his frame to project him to get to average or better raw power, but his slashing, downhill swing path lends itself to a high groundball rate, so Mendez will have to figure out a way to generate more loft to ever hit for power. He's a right fielder with an average arm and at least average speed that will likely slow down as he fills out.

The Future: Whether Mendez will provide enough offensive impact to be a big leaguer hinges on the development of his game power. High-A Wisconsin will be his next step in 2023.

Scouting Grades: Hit: 50. Power: 40. Speed: 50. Fielding: 45. Arm: 50.

BA Grade/Risk: 40/High

Track Record: Perez generated buzz soon after signing with the Brewers for $700,000 and was so advanced that the Brewers sent him to their alternate training site in 2020 during the canceled minor league season. He showed a power stroke with free-swinging tendencies in his pro debut in the Rookie-level Arizona Complex League in 2021, then in 2022 with Low-A Carolina, pitchers were able to better exploit holes in his game.

Scouting Report: Perez has a lefthanded swing that works well and stays smooth and usually compact with a good path through the zone. When Perez gets the sweet spot on the ball, especially down and in, he's able to drive it for damage, with exit velocities up to 113 mph. There's above-average raw power, but he will need to become a more selective hitter. He expands the zone too often and struggles to recognize offspeed pitches, so he doesn't walk much and he struck out at a 30% clip. Perez has gained significant power since signing as he's bulked up, but that added weight has caused his speed to regress. He's now a below-average runner who moved from center to left field. His defensive instincts are solid, though his arm arm has backed up to below-average.

The Future: The 2022 season was a difficult one for Perez, but there are still promising traits intact for him to build upon. The 2023 season will be a critical rebound year.

Scouting Grades: Hit: 30. Power: 55. Speed: 40. Fielding: 50. Arm: 40.

BA Grade/Risk: 45/Extreme

Track Record: When the international signing period opened on Jan. 15, 2021, the Brewers awarded seven-figure bonuses to three Venezuelan prospects: Jackson Chourio, Daniel Guilarte and Gregory Barrios. While Chourio has catapulted himself into the conversation for the top prospect in baseball already, Guilarte--a $1 million signing--has impressed at the lower levels. He missed the 2021 season due to a left shoulder injury, but he was one of the top hitters in the Rookie-level Arizona Complex League in 2022 during his pro debut.

Scouting Report: A wiry shortstop, Guilarte has the tools and athleticism to handle shortstop. A plus runner, Guilarte has good quickness at the position and finishes plays with a plus arm. At the plate, Guilarte performed well and showed a good sense of the strike zone for his age as well as the bat control to make frequent contact. He had little swing and miss in the zone, though he will need to get stronger and might need to tweak his swing if he is ever going to hit for power. His lack of strength means his power is limited to occasional doubles right now, while his bat path lends itself more to low line drives and ground balls rather than loft.

The Future: Guilarte's 2022 season had a lot of positives, but layering on more strength to be able to handle more advanced pitchers will be critical for his future. He should make the jump to Low-A Carolina in 2023.

Scouting Grades: Hit: 45. Power: 30. Speed: 60. Fielding: 50. Arm: 60.

BA Grade/Risk: 45/Extreme

Track Record: Barrios was one of the top shortstops in Venezuela when the Brewers signed him for $1 million in Jan. 2021. A switch-hitter when he signed, Barrios made his pro debut in the Dominican Summer League in 2021 and took some of his at-bats from the right side against righthanders, then in 2022 hit exclusively righthanded in the Rookie-level Arizona Complex League.

Scouting Report: From the time he signed, Barrios has always stood out for his defensive acumen. He has smooth, easy actions at shortstop, where he's light on his feet with soft hands and good body control. He's not especially tooled up--it's average speed with a solid-average arm--but his instincts and internal clock help everything play up in the field. At the plate, Barrios has a good eye for the strike zone, makes good swing decisions and makes frequent contact, albeit with limited power. Dropping his weaker lefthanded swing helped his numbers tick up in 2022 and should benefit him long term, though he will need to get stronger to do more damage on contact.

The Future: Barrios should get his first test of full-season ball in Low-A Carolina in 2023. He has a good mix of OBP skills and defense at a premium position, but becoming more than primarily a singles hitter will be critical as he faces more advanced pitchers.

Scouting Grades: Hit: 50. Power: 30. Speed: 50. Fielding: 55. Arm: 55.

BA Grade/Risk: 40/High

Track Record: At Penn State in 2022, Wood's 1.147 OPS ranked second in the Big Ten as he hit .379/.480/.667 with more walks (36) than strikeouts (26). He finished top five in the conference in batting average, on-base percentage and slugging. The Brewers drafted him that year with their fourth-round pick and signed him for $347,500.

Scouting Report: There isn't one standout tool with Wood. He's a steady prospect on both sides of the ball and offers a consistent mix of 40s and 50s on his scouting card. He's a disciplined hitter who recognizes pitches well and makes frequent contact against both fastballs and breaking balls. It's a high-contact bat and, while Wood isn't that physical and his offensive value comes more on his on-base skills, the uptick in power he showed in 2022 points to a chance for 15-20 home runs. Wood is a good athlete for a catcher and moves around well behind the plate. His arm strength is average but plays up because of his quick exchange and allows him to record pop times around 2.0 seconds and at times in the low 1.9-second range, though he will need to improve his accuracy and avoid a tendency to rush his throws.

The Future: Jeferson Quero is the best catching prospect in the organization and has more upside, but Wood is another young catcher who projects to stick at the position and has intriguing offensive potential. He could start his first full season in Low-A Carolina.

Scouting Grades: Hit: 45. Power: 45. Speed: 40. Fielding: 50. Arm: 50.

BA Grade/Risk: 40/High

Track Record: Young for his high school class, Robinson signed at 17 as a 23rd-round pick in 2017. He spent his first few seasons mostly in Rookie ball with swollen ERAs and walk rates that made him a candidate to get released. Instead, Robinson turned around his career and returned after the canceled 2020 minor league season with an uptick in stuff in 2021 and moved through three levels up to Triple-A in 2022.

Scouting Report: Robinson is a relief prospect whose fastball operates at 92-95 mph and can touch 97 from his high, three-quarters slot. It's a cutter-heavy approach, moving the ball around to all quadrants of the strike zone, though he will have to continue to improve his control after walking 11% of batters in 2022 with 14 wild pitches in 65 innings. When he's able to keep it down, Robinson flashes a plus curveball that has power in the low 80s with good depth and rotation at 2,600-2,700 rpm. He mixes in a mid-80s slider as well to give hitters another look.

The Future: Robinson doesn't have the elite stuff or good enough control to project as a closer in the majors, but his repertoire should allow him to carve out a middle relief role. Added to the 40-man roster after the 2022 season, Robinson likely returns to Triple-A Nashville but could make his major league debut at some point in 2023.

Scouting Grades: Fastball: 50. Curveball: 60. Slider: 45. Cutter: 50. Control: 40.

BA Grade/Risk: 45/Extreme

Track Record: The Brewers made one of the surprise picks toward the top of the draft when they picked O'Rae in the third round (No. 102 overall) in 2022 and signed him for $597,500. Despite O'Rae's smaller stature, the Brewers loved what they saw from him as an amateur, including his time on the Canadian junior national team, and he made his pro debut in the Rookie-level Arizona Complex League.

Scouting Report: O'Rae is a small, high-energy and savvy player. He uses his smaller strike zone to his advantage and maintains a selective approach to not chase much off the plate and with the hand-eye coordination to put the ball in play at a high clip when he does swing. A plus-plus runner underway, O'Rae's speed gives him another tool that plays on both sides of the ball. The biggest risk factor with O'Rae is how much power he will develop. He's mostly a singles hitter now with little impact, so he will have to get stronger and prove he can be more than a slap hitter. Defensively, O'Rae has the hands and actions to play in the middle infield, and while he's comfortable throwing from different angles, his arm strength is fringy at best. Second base is his most likely defensive home, though with his speed, center field could be another option.

The Future: O'Rae's athleticism, on-base skills and ability to play up the middle make for an intriguing prospect if he's able to do more damage on contact. He should play in Low-A Carolina in 2023.

Scouting Grades: Hit: 45. Power: 20. Speed: 70. Fielding: 45. Arm: 45.

BA Grade/Risk: 45/Extreme

Track Record: Adams wasn't a high-profile amateur prospect in Illinois, but the Michigan State commit helped himself after his high school season by playing for Illinois Valley in the summer collegiate Prospect League, where he hit .404/.478/.737 in 68 plate appearances. The Brewers drafted him in the 12th round, signed him for $282,500 and his success carried over into the Rookie-level Arizona Complex League.

Scouting Report: Adams is a physical 6-foot-4, 210 pounds and he finds a way to make a lot of contact despite an unorthodox swing. He starts his swing with a big hitch, at times bringing his hands from his back shoulder to below his belt and then up to his shoulder again, all while taking a leg kick into a big stride out front. It's not always quite that exaggerated, but despite a lot of moving parts and funky path through the zone, so far it has worked--both in terms of contact and impact. He has an accurate barrel, a good sense of the strike zone and the strength to drive the ball with impact and projects for above-average power. Adams signed as a third baseman, though his time there might be limited. A below-average runner, he more likely ends up in an outfield corner, with a chance he could be a first baseman.

The Future: The Brewers found good value in a college hitter with a funky swing in 2020 when they drafted Joey Wiemer, and while Adams isn't that level of athlete, he could prove to be another undervalued hitter. Low-A Carolina is up next.

Scouting Grades: Hit: 40. Power: 55. Speed: 40. Fielding: 40. Arm: 50.

BA Grade/Risk: 40/High

Track Record: Signed out of Mexico in 2017, Castaneda's pitchability and atypical repertoire have allowed him to steadily progress through the system. He spent most of 2022 in Double-A Biloxi before a September promotion to Triple-A Nashville.

Scouting Report: Castaneda pitches from the first base side of the rubber and tends to fly open early. He delivers the ball with a long arm swing in the back that moves into a three-quarters slot, and he throws a fastball in the low 90s that touches 94 mph. He keeps hitters off balance by throwing his offspeed stuff more than his fastball. The pitch that draws the most praise is his low-80s splitter, which kills spin and has late tumble when it's on to miss bats, though it's the pitch he has most trouble commanding. Castaneda also throws an average changeup primarily against lefties. His slider improved in 2022 and he has feel to spin it, typically in the 2,600-2,700 rpm range, with enough movement to get empty swings against righties. Castaneda isn't wild, but especially for a pitcher with a hittable fastball, he will need to tighten his command after he walked 10% of batters last year.

The Future: Castaneda has developed as a starter, though there's a chance he ends up in the bullpen, where he could find a role pitching backwards and giving hitters a different look in low-leverage situations. He'll return to Triple-A and could make his debut by the end of 2023.

Scouting Grades: Fastball: 40. Slider: 50. Changeup: 50. Splitter: 55. Control: 45.

BA Grade/Risk: 40/High

Track Record: During showcases in Venezuela, Areinamo was a smaller player who didn't have big tools that would stand out during a workout, but his game savvy and ability to hit in games helped him land a $150,000 deal with the Brewers on Jan. 15, 2021. After debuting in the Dominican Summer League that year, Areinamo made an impressive jump to the United States in 2022 in the Rookie-level Arizona Complex League and drew a promotion to Low-A Carolina in August.

Scouting Report: Areinamo isn't tooled up, but he's a skillful player with a high baseball IQ. He's small and has minimal power, but he has a good grasp of the strike zone and excellent bat control. That leads to a high contact rate--he struck out in just 14% of plate appearances in 2022--as he sprayed line drives around the field. As he moves up the ladder, he will need to get stronger to have more than occasional gap power. A below-average runner, Areinamo is a high-energy player who has moved around between shortstop, second base and third base. He's an instinctive defender with a good internal clock who should continue to serve a utility role in the field, with second base probably his best defensive fit.

The Future: Areinamo likely returns to Low-A Carolina to begin 2023. If he's able to get stronger and increase his power, he could go from an intriguing sleeper to a more prominent prospect in the organization.

Scouting Grades: Hit: 50. Power: 30. Speed: 40. Fielding: 50. Arm: 50.

Track Record: The Brewers signed two of the more prominent shortstops from Venezuela in their international class that opened on Jan. 15, 2023, landing Filippo Di Turri and Ereu, with Ereu showing more thump in his bat so far.

Scouting Report: At 5-foot-10, Ereu isn't that tall, he is able to whip the barrel through the zone with easy bat speed, generating impressive carry and impact off his bat. He can drive the ball with damage and could end up with plus raw power.Some scouts think it will end up a power-over-hit offensive profile, though evaluators highest on him believe his swing works well and that there's enough feel for hitting for him to translate that power in games. An average runner, Ereu has the body control, hands and footwork for the middle infield with an above-average arm at shortstop.

The Future: Ereu has a chance to develop into a power-hitting shortstop, though he's several years away from the big leagues. His first step will be the Dominican Summer League in 2023.

Scouting Grades: Hit: 45. Power: 55. Speed: 50. Fielding: 50. Arm: 55

BA Grade/Risk: 40/High

Track Record: Garcia signed with the Brewers for $1.1 million when he turned 16 in 2018. He didn't play much the next two years and was limited to just 10 games in 2019 because of an ankle injury before the pandemic wiped out the 2020 season. Garcia spent most of 2022 in Low-A Carolina before an August promotion to High-A Wisconsin, where his free-swinging tendencies were magnified as he struck out 40 times and didn't draw a walk in 108 plate appearances.

Scouting Report: Garcia's defense stands out the most. While he's a fringe-average runner, his instincts at the position help him cover ground well in the dirt, where he moves his feet well, with good body control, soft hands and a plus arm. At the plate, Garcia surprised with 15 home runs in 2022 and can sting the ball up to 110 mph, so while he's not a big slugger, he has a chance to be a 15-20 home run hitter. His most glaring holes are in his approach and breaking ball recognition. Garcia swings at nearly everything and is especially vulnerable to whiffing through breaking stuff, which led to a 4% walk rate and 34% strikeout rate.

The Future: Garcia still has promising physical tools and the ability to play a premium position, but he will need to figure out a way to become a more selective hitter and make more contact. He's likely to return to Wisconsin for 2023.

Scouting Grades: Hit: 20. Power: 40. Speed: 45. Fielding: 55. Arm: 60.
