Brandyn Garcia Could Make Opening Day Roster
Seattle Mariners left-hander Brandyn Garcia has emerged as a realistic candidate to make the team's Opening Day roster in 2025. Garcia was the team's 11th-round pick out of Texas A&M in 2023 and pitched exclusively out of the bullpen in college. The 24-year-old southpaw won the team's minor-league co-pitch of the year in 2024 and has emerged as one of Seattle's best pitching prospects. He held a 2.25 ERA with 134 strikeouts, 47 walks and only four home runs allowed over 116 innings in 27 appearances (25 starts) with High-A Everett and Double-A Arkansas this past season. Garcia could be a starter in the big leagues in the long term, but the Mariners view him as a potentially valuable left-handed arm out of their bullpen next year. His transition to the bullpen during spring training will be something to watch next spring.
