Santiago Garcia brings power relief upside, but command remains the swing skill
In the 2026 season at LSU, left-hander Santiago Garcia showed real bullpen value with 35 strikeouts in 22.2 innings and two saves across 21 relief appearances, and his 2025 season at Oregon suggested he can miss bats against quality competition. His profile is built on strikeout ability and leverage-inning experience, but the 5.96 ERA at LSU and prior walk totals point to command as the key separator. He looks like a fit for teams needing a competitive, draft-pedigree arm who can attack hitters, with the caveat that his control has to keep improving.
