Justin Garza

Garza burst on the scene as a freshman, hitting 95-96 mph at times as the fire to Thomas Eshelman's ice in Cal State Fullerton's 50-win 2013 club. Listed at 5-foot-11, 170 pounds, Garza kept showing a quick arm last year despite missing time with a shoulder injury and finished strong, no-hitting Cal State Northridge and pitching well for USA Baseball's Collegiate National Team. At his best, Garza pitches off a 91-93 mph fastball that touches higher and has late life up in the zone. His upper 70s slider and tumbling changeup have both flashed above-average as well, but Garza wasn't at his best much of this spring. He wound up requiring Tommy John surgery in late May to repair a damaged elbow. He likely lacks the durability and size to start but his power repertoire could be a bullpen fit as a pro.
