The Seattle Mariners are once again dipping into their endless well of pitching reserves, this time calling on one of their more intriguing arms from the 2023 draft class in left-hander Brandyn Garcia.

Garcia, an 11th-round selection out of Texas A&M, has quickly worked his way through the Mariners’ system, joining a growing list of arms who’ve turned heads with rapid development. During spring training, Mariners general manager Justin Hollander pointed to Garcia as one of the standout success stories in the organization’s latest crop of pitching prospects — a group that’s built a reputation for jumping levels and showing up big in the majors.
