Luis García Jr. is working on addressing his struggles against left-handed pitchers ahead of the baseball season. Following the signing of Amed Rosario, who has a strong record against lefties, García's position on the team may face new challenges. While García displayed impressive statistics last spring, his historical performance against lefties remains a concern, prompting the coaching staff to consider strategic rotations. The competition for a starting position emphasizes the need for players to adapt, especially in terms of facing left-handed pitching in modern baseball.
"It's no secret with me and lefties last season," García said through a translator. This offseason, the team signed utility infielder Amed Rosario (career .798 OPS against left-handers) with the idea he could, among other roles, start at second base against the game's toughest lefties."
"I do believe in this day and age, guys need days off," Manager Dave Martinez said. "Rosario does hit lefties really well. So I want to get him his at-bats."
"Last spring, García was fighting for his manager's trust and a spot on the roster. He responded with a .282 average, 18 homers, 22 stolen bases and the best defense of his career."
