2026 review

Luis García was a middle relief arm who couldn't miss bats or the strike zone this year, a 9.00 ERA and 1.93 WHIP in 15.0 IP with an 8.1 K% and an 8.1 BB% over 74 BF for NYM and MIN, with 2 SV, 1 HLD and 1 BS mixed in. Signed as a free agent by NYM on Jan 21, he was designated for assignment Apr 12 and released Apr 14, then signed a minor league contract with MIN on Apr 21 before his contract was selected Apr 28; MIN designated him for assignment May 23 and outrighted him May 25. His work came in short bursts by month, 2 games for 2.0 IP in Mar, 5 games for 5.1 IP in Apr and 8 games for 7.2 IP in May. Undrafted in NFBC drafts, he finished 1058th of 1472 in the TDK LABS 5x5 value rank, 694th of 811 pitchers, and 524th of 575 relievers.
