Scouting report
Garrett made his big league debut last year and now projects as a fifth starter. He has a short, repeatable arm action and wields four vanilla pitches; his fastball has settled into the 91-93 range over the last couple of years. His slider and changeup are both pretty hard for a guy who only throws about 92, with each routinely sitting in the 83-86 mph range. His best chance of missing bats comes via a well-located curveball, and Garrett does a great job of living just beneath the zone to his glove side with it. He's a lower-variance fifth starter prospect likely to play a depth role in the big leagues this year. (Alternate site, MLB)
