 After starting his 2019 season with the Tampa Tarpons in high A-ball, Davey Garcia has been with the AA Trenton Thunder for a little over a month. He entered the year ranked as the sixth best prospect in the Yankees organization, according to Baseball America, and his manager at Trenton, Pat Osborn, can easily see why. It's the mindset. It's the confidence he has in himself. He's not going to back down, even if one of those pitches may not be working that day, he's going to keep throwing it, because he believes in the pitch, he believes in himself. I'm just going to do my job, I'm just going to pitch there, no matter what happens, because I can't control everything. I just, I can't control what I'm going to do in the mound. That's all. I never worry about what's going to happen. Well, it's lighter, and that's what I want to be one of my best pitchers, because I really like it, and I always practice that pitch, I always like to use it. So I think that's, that is coming, it's coming very good. O2 coming, big curveball strike three call to the knees, beauty of a curveball. Having the stuff to excel is just part of the equation for any young pitcher. Garcia knows it's also vital to have the proper mindset whenever he takes the mound. I think what separates Davey is what he has in between his ears. A 20 year old kid, you watch him out there, he's composed, he competes like he's been around the game his whole life. He's just a very, very different 20 year old starting pitcher. It's kind of just finding his way. We're here to kind of help him guide him along the path. But when you're guiding a kid like that, it's not a difficult task because he could probably do it without us. That's just the type of makeup he has, he's special. I get motivation from my family, my little brothers, and he likes to compete. And I always think about them, and that's how I get motivation to compete that night. I like to challenge, I like to compete, be there and compete and try to fight every time when I pitch. Garcia hails from the Dominican Republic, which has produced many great major leaguers, including his idol, a Hall of Famer. When I was a kid and I was playing in Little Leagues, like, okay, this is Pedro Martinez, he's a legend, and people start calling me, I look like a Pedro Martinez, then that's when he starts, okay, I want to be like Pedro Martinez. I always like to watch videos of Pedro Martinez, highlights and before I pitch. I feel very proud of him. Two decades after Pedro crafted one of the greatest seasons any pitcher has ever had, Garcia wonders what it would be like to get the call to the majors. I would have the triple smile that day, and I would feel happy to represent the Yankees team in the bronze.
