The Pittsburgh Pirates’ number 12 overall prospect – and 3rd ranked outfield prospect – is Willy Garcia, a prototypical right fielder from the Dominican Republic. Garcia will be 23 years old for the 2016 season but has been with the Pirates since he was 17, working his way through every rank from the Dominican Summer League to Triple-A.
Garcia is an explosive player on both sides of the ball, with the power to hit a ball into the upper deck and the arm strength to prevent teams from taking extra bases. He’s played all three positions in the outfield during his career; his lack of range will keep him out of centerfield, but the arm that has thrown out 111 baserunners over six professional seasons makes him an ideal right fielder.
