BALLER MOVE: Draft target ~pick 300
CURRENT ADP: ~330 overall
ANALYSIS: I’m sure many have already cursed the name of Washington Nationals second baseman Luis García as they haphazardly draft him instead of the Astros starting pitcher. I have sympathy, but don’t let any struggles with Fantrax’s search bar feature change your perception of this Luis García.
After returning to the majors in June, García slashed .275/.295/.408 with 45 RBIs and a max exit velocity of 113.4 mph (ranking in the 92nd percentile). It was an altogether modest season at the plate, but García was able to showcase his talent with several hard hits and two .800+ OPS months.
García is not a great defender, and he seems to swing without restraint, but that won’t be nearly enough to take him off the field. With absolutely no major league depth in the middle infield, the Nationals would need to keep him on the field.
Talent and playing time is a potent formula that consistently produces breakout players. Luis García is a great late-round target for either middle infield position.
