2023 Projections
2023 Fantasy Outlook
Garcia opened 2022 with Triple-A Rochester but was promoted to the big leagues at the start of June and had a .275/.295/.408 slash line with seven home runs across 93 games for the Nationals. He initially took over the starting job at shortstop but shifted to the keystone once CJ Abrams was deemed ready to go. Garcia had a manageable strikeout rate (22.3 percent), but an abysmal walk rate (3.0 percent) isn't sustainable for a big-league regular. Garcia should receive plenty of run in 2023 with the Nationals trying to determine what the young infielder can provide, but he'll need to show more than solid contact skills to warrant a regular role long term. He also has only eight steals since the 2019 minor-league season, so he won't provide much value on the basepaths in addition to his low power. Read Past Outlooks

Left out of Tuesday's lineup
Garcia is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against Atlanta.
ANALYSIS
The Nationals are loading up on right-handed hitters against opposing starter Kyle Muller, so Garcia will head to the bench and Cesar Hernandez will get the nod at second base.

Stat Review
How does Luis Garcia compare to other hitters?
This section compares his stats with all batting seasons from the previous three seasons (minimum 400 plate appearances)*. The bar represents the player's percentile rank. For example, if the bar is halfway across, then the player falls into the 50th percentile for that stat and it would be considered average.
* Exit Velocity and Barrels/PA % are benchmarked against 2019 data (min 400 PA) and Hard Hit Rate is benchmarked against last season's data (min 400 PA). See here for more exit velocity/barrels stats plus an explanation of current limitations with that data set.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2021
2020
2019
2018
Garcia hadn't yet conquered Double-A, let alone Triple-A, hitting just .257/.280/.337 at that level in 2019, but an injury crisis called him up to the majors early in the 2020 season. He was hardly a star, or even an average regular, but given the context, his respectable .276/.302/.366 slash line was quite impressive. His 83.5 mph average exit velocity and 3.6 BB% both fell in the bottom three percent of qualified hitters, but he did at least make a decent amount of contact, striking out at a 20.9% clip, and again, there was no reason to expect he wouldn't struggle. It's tough to call him big-league ready even after spending most of a season in the majors, however, especially as his defense graded out quite poorly at second base. He could use a fair bit more seasoning in the minors, but even if he gets more major-league chances, he's unlikely to provide much fantasy value outside of a decent average.
