Garcia skipped short season ball to pitch at Low-A Charleston where he went 6-7 with a 3.25 ERA with 95 K's in 102.1 IP. Garcia has a lively arm that features a 90-92 MPH fastball with good sink. His curve and changeup are still quite raw, though they both have promise to be plus pitches at the major league level. Garcia is very effective at forcing ground ball outs, averaging nearly 2 ground outs to every fly out. This trend will bode well for him as he progresses through the Yankee's farm system.
Garcia still needs to refine his arsenal of pitches and improve his overall control, as he walked 43 hitters during the 2008 season. That said, he has displayed a relentless work ethic that has drawn the praise of team officials. Expect Garcia to move with high-ceiling battery mate Jesus Montero to High-A Tampa this season.
