7. Luis Garcia, ss Born: May 16, 2000. B-T: L-R. Ht.: 5-11. Wt.: 170. Signed: Dominican Republic, 2016. Signed by: Carlos Ulloa. Background: The Nationals busted their international bonus pool in 2016 by signing three of the top 15 prospects in the class. Garcia, whose father Luis Garcia reached the big leagues in 1999 with the Tigers, was the No. 3 prospect in the class and headlined Washington’s haul, though his bonus of $1.3 million was not the largest the Nationals handed out in 2016. Scouting Report: Garcia has impressive all-around tools and evolved as a prospect in the year leading up to his signing. He has good bat-to-ball skills and a simple lefthanded swing that is geared for hitting line drives. He makes loud contact and shows signs that he will develop more power as he physically matures. He is an excellent athlete with well above-average speed. Garcia has above-average arm strength and good hands, giving scouts reason to believe he will be able to stay at shortstop. He will need to improve his infield actions, but even if he does move, his tools will play well at second base or in center field. The Future: Garcia is far from a finished product but earns praise for his baseball IQ and work ethic. Those traits will serve him well as he tries to become a big leaguer like his father. He will likely begin his pro career in the Dominican Summer League. --
