Scouting report
Garcia still hasn't added much (if any) physical strength over the last year, but facility access in Venezuela was rare for pro ball players stuck there for most of the pandemic. He's a lock to stay at shortstop -- his footwork, hands, and arm strength are all sound fits there -- but, at age 21, I'd have liked to have seen him add a little more strength and bat speed. I think this is the sort of player whose ceiling is that of a utility infielder barring some kind of serious physical progression now that Garcia once again has access to world class athletic facilities.
