DrB's 2019 Giants Top 50 Prospects: #43 Orlando Garcia

Orlando Garcia, 2B.  DOB:  12/31/1995.  B-R, T-R.  6'2", 190 lbs.  Drafted 2017 Round l5.

2018 Low A:  .243/.342/.350, 17 2B, 2 3B, 8 HR, 9 SB, 11.4 BB%, 27.3 K%, 1.20 GB/FB, 501 PA.

Orlando Garcia was a shortstop for Kelby Tomlinson's old college, Texas Tech.  He's moved to 2B already in the pros which is the generally not considered a good thing.  He does show plate discipline with some pop and speed.  He also gets the ball in the air and has the size for further power development.  Garcia is a sleeper who is not getting much attention but has a chance to move up the list with a strong showing in San Jose in 2019.
