Should Yankees prospect Anthony Garcia stop switch hitting?

When it comes to discussing who has the best raw power in the Yankees system, Anthony Garica’s name frequently comes up. Widely considered to now be taller and thicker than his officially listed 6-foot-5, 204 pound measurements that were taken prior to the 2018 season, Garcia is a rare prospect in that he has near maximum grade power from both sides of the plate. One of the problems slowing Garica’s climb through the system though is his dramatic splits from the different batter’s boxes. With the recent example of Baltimore’s Cedric Mullins fresh in the baseball world’s mind, it is fair to wonder if Garcia should scrap switch hitting and focus on honing his swing from just the left side where he has produced tremendous production.
