Welcome into FBT in five on Saturday, February 24th. I am Frank Stample joined by Scott White and let's talk about Michael Garcia.

0:20.0

Likely to be the starting third baseman for the Kansas City Royals.

0:24.0

And if you remember on our third base preview, I made the claim

0:29.0

that Garcia could be this year's Nico Horner. He hits the ball hard, hits a lot of line drives,

0:35.4

he's fast, he seals bases, plays on a team that wants to run. Scott, what do you think about Mike Kel Garcia?

0:43.0

Well, I think it's a good thing he plays for the Royals, first of all.

It's possible he bats ninth for the Royals but and that makes a big difference

1:36.4

obviously but whether he bats lead off or ninth. But if he bats lead off then he could

1:41.9

score a decent number of runs.

1:44.1

He's not a, um, and he has some pretty good on-based percentages

1:49.6

in minor league track record, I guess.

1:51.0

He reached base at a 323 clip in the majors last year if that improves then maybe he could turn into a pretty good lead-off hitter

1:57.2

but based on what we've seen from Mike Hill Garcia in the majors
