    Garcia hit in the cleanup spot behind Riley Adams at USD and protected him well, hitting .292 and leading the team with 14 homers and 53 RBIs in the regular season. Garcia is a physically-mature 6-foot-1, 210-pound senior whose best asset is his above-average power. He can tap into it regularly, but it comes with a considerable amount of swing-and-miss in his game. Garcia is adequate defensively at first base but does not have the athleticism to handle the outfield. Garcia's upside is limited, but his power and performance have evaluators considering taking him in the top 10 rounds as a senior sign and saving some money for elsewhere in the draft.
