Yimi Garcia delivered a promising performance in his first spring training start on Sunday against the Diamondbacks. He completed two scoreless innings, demonstrating his effectiveness on the mound.
The right-hander managed the game adeptly, working through two walks by inducing double plays. This tactical approach helped him avoid any scoring.
Garcia's fastball velocity was a key highlight, registering between 93-94 mph in the opening inning. This marks a substantial increase from his previous September velocity of 89-92 mph. Although his velocity saw a slight dip to 91-92 mph in the second inning, his overall outing was deemed successful.
At 28 years old, Garcia's strong spring debut is vital. He needs to impress throughout the remainder of camp to earn a coveted spot in the Angels' starting rotation.
