Brandyn Garcia

Going after Mariners pitching prospects has its merits, given their stellar developmental track record and spacious home park, and Garcia is arguably Seattle's most relevant pitching prospect for 2025. The 6-foot-4 southpaw logged a 2.83 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 49:21 K:BB in 47.2 innings across 13 starts for Double-A Arkansas in 2024. Garcia has a plus fastball and a plus slider, but his changeup is a distant third pitch and his command is iffy, as he walked 10.1 percent of batters at Double-A as a 24-year-old. Garcia was lights out earlier in the year against younger hitters at High-A, logging a 1.84 ERA, 1.20 WHIP, 85 strikeouts and a 59.5 percent groundball rate in 68.1 innings. It would help for Garcia to improve his third pitch and/or his strike throwing, but his handedness and top two pitches might be enough for him to make it as a starter as is. Read Past Outlooks
