Brewers SS prospect Eduardo Garcia went 3-for-5 with a stolen base Wednesday for Low-A Carolina.
Garcia’s steal is the seventh on the year in his 41 games with the Mudcats. It’s been a mixed bag of a season thus far for the 19-year-old, as he’s hitting a respectable .282 over 174 at-bats, but his OPS is just .690, and it’s come with an ugly 62/5 K/BB ratio. Still, the talent is obvious, as he not only has a chance to hit for average with some power in his right-hander bat, but he’s a terrific defensive player who looks like a lock to stay up the middle. Garcia is years away from making an impact, but if he reaches his ceiling, he could be an above-average regular at shortstop.
