Yankees pitching prospect making waves in minors
The New York Yankees have an extremely young and potent bullpen, but they’re never done looking to add positive contributors to the mix. One of their former top pitching prospects, Deivi Garcia, is starting to refine his style and justify a potential promotion this season, having started the 2023 season on a good note.
At 23 years old, Garcia made his last MLB appearance back in 2021, pitching 8.1 innings and recording a 6.48 ERA. He pitched 34.1 innings at the MLB level back in 2020, hosting a 4.98 ERA, indicating he needed a bit more development. In 2022 at the MiLB level, he pitched 37.1 innings, logging a 7.96 ERA, taking a step in the wrong direction, and battling through injury.
