Aiden Garcia is a 2028 SS/RHP, 3B with a 5-7 120 lb. frame from Apache Junction, AZ. Features a smaller/lean frame with plenty of room/time to add. Ran a 7.71 60-yd dash. In the OF, showed developing actions. Sets low to the ball and stutter steps into reception with avg. quickness. Glove gets down a tad late at times but fields it clean. Some quickness in getting into his throws where he showed a longer arm action that got off higher arcing throws with avg. strength for his level. At the plate, he stands in a wider/balanced stance. Minimal movements where there is a small lean into his backside with a smaller forward move in his toe tap trigger. Turns the barrel rearward and a tad long allowing for a flatter path and a level finish. Avg. bat/hand speed for his level. Tough when late but sent low liners back up the box consistently when on time. On the mound, showed a slower tempo operation. Gets into a hip high knee lift that works into a more drop/drive type delivery. Longer takeaway out the glove where the arm gets inside 90 a bit as it works up. Releases to a H 3/4 slot with average armspeed. Lower half works on-line with an avg. length stride and softer block. The fastball worked up to 69 flashing some cutting action at times. Mixed in a developing upper 50s breaker that had slurvy shape that induced a few buckled takes.
