  Scouting Report & Links      
         
  Physical Description: Medium, sturdy frame. Above-average athlete. Has filled out considerably since he signed and added a lot of strength.

Hit: Starts square and vertical with his hands high. Deliberate leg kick timing device. Plus bat speed with a long swing. Approach is a work in progress and has a fair amount of swing-and-miss in his game. Expands the zone often and will miss in the zone. Crushes fringy fastballs and has made major strides against secondary pitches. Will be tested by more advanced velocity in the high-minors. Potential below-average hit tool.

Power: Plus raw power. Swing has natural loft. Power is mostly to the pull side and shows up presently, especially against lefties. Produces high-end exit velocities. Potential above-average in-game power.

Run: Average speed. Not the most fluid runner when accelerating, but can move when he gets going.

Field: Strong instincts and range in center field. Makes up for lack of speed with solid athleticism and instincts. Has really taken to the outfield since moving there. Potential above-average defender at any outfield position.

Arm: Plus arm strength. Plenty for any outfield position.
  Career Notes: Older brother of Red Sox minor league catcher Johanfran Garcia. Was given the nickname "The Password" by @insidefastball on Twitter in October 2021 because of his unique first name, and Garcia saw the tweet and adopted the moniker. The nickname did not catch until 2024 during his breakout in Greenville. Played shortstop as an amateur, but moved to the outfield in pro ball. Participated in the 2021 Fall Performance Program. Organization was very pleased with his work during the 2023-24 offseason that preceded his strong 2024 performance. Led the Red Sox system in home runs in 2024. Was added to the 40-man roster in November 2024 to protect him from selection in the Rule 5 Draft. Participated in the Red Sox Rookie Development Program in January 2025. Started in the 2025 Spring breakout and Futures at Fenway South games.

Summation: Potential reserve platoon outfielder. Ceiling of an everyday center fielder. Took major strides during the 2024 season and saw his prospect stock rise greatly as he moved from Low-A all the way to Double-A. Power-over-hit profile at the plate, with substantial impact ability, especially against lefties. Hit tool development will determine future potential, as there are major questions about how he will handle more advanced pitching. Power is very legit and if given playing time, has 20-plus home run potential. Also brings a solid defensive profile and plus arm, so there is less pressure on his bat due to carry him to the majors. Hard worker who has developed substantially in all areas since he signed.
