Ranked by MLB.com as the Marlins' No. 5 prospect, Garcia is 2-2 with a 3.14 ERA in 13 starts with Jupiter. The lefty from the Dominican Republic was an international free-agent signing in 2010.

"A lot of guys think he's going to be a great Major League pitcher," said vice president of player development Marty Scott. "I hope they're right."

Garcia possesses a low-to-mid 90s mph fastball, and a quality breaking ball.

"He doesn't throw anything straight," Scott said. "Everything moves. Good mound presence."

In his Minor League career, Garcia is 20-18 with a 3.66 ERA in 79 games with 65 starts.

At Class A Greensboro in 2014, Garcia was 10-5 (4.38).

"He did well last year in Greensboro, and he's just progressing up the ladder," Scott said.
