Show Notes
Jhostynxon Garcia, a 23-year-old outfielder, is making a strong case for an Opening Day spot with the Pittsburgh Pirates. Manager Don Kelly has been impressed by his offensive skills and solid defense during spring training. Garcia, who joined the team in a December trade from the Boston Red Sox, has been slashing .478/.556/.609 with an OPS of 1.165 in ten spring games. He leads the Pirates in hits with eleven in twenty-three at-bats, including one home run and three stolen bases. Kelly praised Garcias discipline with two strikes and his versatility in playing center, left, and right field. The Pirates have reshuffled their outfield plans, opening up opportunities for Garcia to compete for the fourth outfielder role with Jake Mangum.
