Ronny Garcia, a former Houston Astros prospect, died in a traffic accident. He was 24. The Astros confirmed the death in a Saturday post on social media. 'We are deeply saddened by the passing of former Astros prospect, Ronny Garcia,' the team posted on X, alongside a photo of Garcia. 'Our condolences go out to his family and friends.' Garcia died in a traffic accident, according to Héctor Gómez, a Dominican Republic-based reporter who covers Major League Baseball.
Yahoo Sports reported the accident involved two motorcycles on the Las Galeras-Samaná highway in Samaná, Dominican Republic. Garcia joined the Astros' organization in 2016 as a 16-year-old international signing, Yahoo Sports reported. He pitched in that system in the Florida Complex League and Class A. He played for a number of minor league teams since then, including the Fayetteville Woodpeckers and the Asheville Tourists, where he played as recently as last year.
