Washington Nationals guiding 22-year-old Luis García through third big league season

Luis García committed his sixth error of the season in the sixth inning of the series finale with the Pittsburgh Pirates on Wednesday afternoon, bobbling a two-out grounder for an E:6 behind second in the shift.

It was just his second fielding error of the month, since he was called up on June 1st, to go along with four throwing errors.

Before the third of three with the Bucs in D.C., García’s manager, Davey Martinez, talked to reporters about the 22-year-old infielder’s progress at shortstop, and what’s behind García struggling with his throwing at times.
