Orioles sign reliever Rico Garcia

From SG's article above - sounds pretty pretty pretty good!  Take that Hunter Harvey!

"I’ve seen Rico Garcia sit 93-96 and touch 97 early in outings and then dip into the 90-94 range late. The baseball appears from behind Garcia’s head, which seems to disorient hitters, and Garcia’s vertical arm slot creates tough-to-square flat plane up in the zone. He’ll flash an above-average changeup and slider and shows an ability to manipulate the fastball to sink and cut at various times. I’ve considered him an elder middle-relief prospect, still an excellent outcome for a 30th rounder, but Garcia now has a 155:37 strikeout-to-walk ratio across High- and Double-A in 157 innings and is at least causing re-evaluation of how we have him projected."
