Yimi Garcia comes to the Miami Marlins after pitching parts of the last five seasons out of LA’s bullpen. The 29-year-old right-hander from the Dominican Republic was non-tendered this offseason by the Dodgers and hit the open market.
Garcia posted a 1-4 record with a 3.61 ERA and 0.866 WHIP in 62.1 innings pitched in 2019. He struck 66 batters and walked only 14. Left-handed batters hit .171 off him, and right-handed hitters faired marginally better with a .182 batting average.
Garcia signed with the Dodgers in 2009 and made his MLB debut in at age 24 in 2014.
