Scouting Report

2024

Scouting grades: Hit: 40 | Power: 55 | Run: 50 | Arm: 55 | Field: 50 | Overall: 45

The Red Sox signed Garcia out of Venezuela for $350,000 in 2019, three years before inking his younger brother Johanfran for $850,000. The elder Garcia struggled in his first two seasons in the United States before surging in 2024. Despite dealing with an April hamstring injury, he hit 15 homers in his first 59 games to eclipse his combined total of 14 from his first three years as a pro.

Much more physical than his listed 163 pounds, Garcia has added considerable strength since turning pro. He's hitting balls harder and lifting them more consistently than ever in 2024, creating well-above-average raw power. He's overly aggressive at the plate and may need to tone down his approach at higher levels.

Garcia flashes solid speed and looks to make things happen on the bases, though he projects more as an average runner in the long term. He has split time between center and right field this year and will fit better on the corner as he slows down. With his power and solid arm strength, he'll fit the classic profile in right.
