Seattle Mariners left-handed pitching prospect Brandyn Garcia talked about winning the franchise's Pitcher of the Year award before a game against the Oakland Athletics on Saturday.
SEATTLE — The Seattle Mariners have been heralded for their minor league development over the past several seasons. Especially their pitchers.
Brandyn Garcia was great in Game 2. Final line: 3IP, 4H, 0R, 0BB, 3K, 43 pitches, 30 strikes. What a first full professional season for him.At 6-foot-4, 235 pounds, Garcia has a two-seam fastball that touched the upper 90s with a cutter and sweeper that generate a lot of whiffs. Garcia is a consensus top-two pitching prospect in Seattle's farm system according to most publications. Logan Evans being is the lone hurler rated above him. And it helps that his pitching coach with the Travelers is one of the best staff members the organization has.
Garcia, along with Morales and the other prospects at T-Mobile Park on Saturday, got to have some conversations with a lot of the big leaguers. The hope is that those conversations can help the minor league players make it to the majors one day. Speaking of winning rings, Garcia was a part of an Arkansas team that won the second-half Texas League title — the second minor league club to win a title for the organization this year. Being a part of that kind of winning experience can go a long way when trying to establish a winning culture for the young players.
