2023 Fantasy Outlook
Garcia received a couple of promotions in 2022, as he began the year at Double-A with a .291/.369/.409 slash line through 78 contests. He put up a still-solid .274/.341/.463 line in 40 games at Triple-A, and when the Royals needed reinforcements in the second half of the campaign, he received a nine-game cup of coffee in the majors. His 22.6 percent strikeout rate at Triple-A isn't great, but it's passable, as is his 9.4 walk rate. Garcia likely needs a bit more development time -- he's entering his age-23 season, but a solid hit tool and enticing speed (39 steals in 118 minor-league games last year) bode well for his eventual success. It took him just two years to go from Single-A to Triple-A, and there's a chance a hot spring could allow Garcia to challenge Nicky Lopez for a utility role in the middle infield. The Royals may also opt to bring Garcia along slowly for service-time reasons since they're nowhere near competitive yet. Read Past Outlooks
Nabs steal in loss
Garcia went 0-for-2 with a walk, one RBI and a stolen base in Monday's 9-6 loss to the Marlins.
ANALYSIS
This was Garcia's third straight game with an RBI, and he's walked safely in three of his last four contests. He's had some pockets of productive hitting after a hot start to May, and he's now slashing .261/.330/.380 through 27 contests. The infielder has added a home run, five steals, 13 RBI and nine runs scored while seeing steady playing time primarily at third base.
