Literally possessing more than a couple of dozen pitchers who have above average fastballs, here are the top ten fastballs among the starting pitching prospects in the Yankees farm system. http://yankees.scout.com/2/951148.html 2047 Patrick Teale http://yankees.scout.com/2/951148.html Thu, 04 Mar 2010 18:19:00 GMT 1 303 NY Yankees yankees The New York Yankees selected Christian Garcia in the third round of the 2004 MLB Draft out of Gulliver Prep High School. Mostly battling injuries since that time, he was finally back on the mound and pitching well in Double-A last year when once again an injury derailed his season. http://yankees.scout.com/2/946741.html 2047 Patrick Teale http://yankees.scout.com/2/946741.html Tue, 16 Feb 2010 04:40:00 GMT 1 303 NY Yankees yankees Nardi Contreras, the Yankees Minor League Pitching Coordinator, sits down with PinstripesPlus.com for a long Q&A session.

What's even more amazing, however, is many feel his 0.60 ERA is just the tip of the iceberg. http://yankees.scout.com/2/869702.html 2047 Patrick Teale http://yankees.scout.com/2/869702.html Thu, 04 Jun 2009 02:16:00 GMT 1 303 NY Yankees yankees The Yankees farm system has taken a huge hit in the changeup category over the last two years - losing pitchers like Jeff Marquez, Ivan Nova, and Daniel McCutchen with plus changeups, and Phil Coke to the big leagues - but yet they still have some impressive changeups in the system. Here are the Top Ten Changeups among pitching prospects in the Yankees farm system. http://yankees.scout.com/2/844753.html 2047 Patrick Teale http://yankees.scout.com/2/844753.html Fri, 06 Mar 2009 04:56:00 GMT 1 303 NY Yankees yankees Even though they lost the likes of Ivan Nova, Daniel McCutchen, and Angel Reyes - all of whom had plus curveballs - the depth of the Yankees farm system continues to get better in this category. Here are the Top Ten Curveballs in the Yankee farm system. http://yankees.scout.com/2/843631.html 2047 Patrick Teale http://yankees.scout.com/2/843631.html Mon, 02 Mar 2009 15:32:00 GMT 1 303 NY Yankees yankees Preparing for the upcoming 2009 minor league season, we offer up which Yankees' prospects have the highest ceiling at each position to put together the "Yankees Prospect All-Star Team" for the Yankees farm system. http://yankees.scout.com/2/843520.html 2047 Patrick Teale http://yankees.scout.com/2/843520.html Mon, 02 Mar 2009 03:56:00 GMT 1 303 NY Yankees yankees The Yankees true depth is in their collection of power arms.

One of the most talented pitchers in the farm system over the last few years, he bounced back from a couple of surgeries with a breakout season in 2008 and now he's a member of the 40-man roster. http://yankees.scout.com/2/834127.html 2047 Patrick Teale http://yankees.scout.com/2/834127.html Wed, 28 Jan 2009 02:26:00 GMT 1 303 NY Yankees yankees Here are the Top 50 Yankees' prospects.

In Part Three of our multi-part series, Nardi gives more insight on Christian Garcia's progress, what he thought of Zach McAllister's secondary pitches, if Dellin Betances got better defensively and holding runners, if he was pleased with Jairo Heredia, and much more. http://yankees.scout.com/2/806051.html 2047 Patrick Teale http://yankees.scout.com/2/806051.html Wed, 29 Oct 2008 03:01:00 GMT 1 303 NY Yankees yankees Christian Garcia entered the 2008 season with hopes of having the kind of breakout year many have been expecting from him since he signed, but he found his road back from Tommy John surgery would not be easy. Sidelined for a couple of months, he returned once again in the beginning of August and he finally has found the rhythm he had been searching for to end his season in strong fashion. http://yankees.scout.com/2/783095.html 2047 Patrick Teale http://yankees.scout.com/2/783095.html Tue, 26 Aug 2008 02:52:00 GMT 1 303 NY Yankees yankees Christian Garcia's two year hiatus from the long-season leagues ended back in May when he joined the Tampa Yankees rotation. It lasted just five starts, however, before suffering another setback. All set to return to the Tampa rotation once again on Monday, the right-hander simply wants to finish his first season back in strong fashion. http://yankees.scout.com/2/775128.html 2047 Patrick Teale http://yankees.scout.com/2/775128.html Mon, 04 Aug 2008 03:58:00 GMT 1 303 NY Yankees yankees We sat down with Tampa Yankees manager Luis Sojo for a Q&A session to get his thoughts on what he has seen from Christian Garcia, if he's worried about Mitch Hilligoss' struggles, what adjustments he's seen from Ivan Nova, what Josue Calzado needs to do to maximize his tools, and much, much more. http://yankees.scout.com/2/761955.html 2047 Patrick Teale http://yankees.scout.com/2/761955.html Fri, 13 Jun 2008 13:38:00 GMT 1 303 NY Yankees yankees Missing the better part of two seasons with an array of injuries - including an abdominal strain, Tommy John surgery, and subsequent knee surgery - Christian Garcia was one of the more impressive pitchers in camp this past spring until a shoulder injury derailed his return. Currently working his way back in Extended Spring Training, it appears the right-hander is on the cusp of finally returning. http://yankees.scout.com/2/752939.html 2047 Patrick Teale http://yankees.scout.com/2/752939.html Wed, 07 May 2008 03:10:00 GMT 1 303 NY Yankees yankees Nardi Contreras, the Yankees Minor League Pitching Coordinator, sits down with PinstripesPlus.com for a long Q&A session.
