Garcia continues to hone skills in Winter League ball

Garcia is currently getting more repetitions at third base playing for Navegantes del Magallanes in the Venezuelan Winter League. This weekend, his team is participating in the inaugural Serie de las Americas at Marlins Park.

"This type of baseball really helps me a lot," Garcia said through a translator. "It gives you a chance to improve, and gives you the fast-paced game mentality at the same time."

Magallanes faced the Cardenales de Lara on Saturday in the first game of the two-day event in Miami.

In his first at-bat, Garcia delivered an RBI double.

"Playing in Marlins Park, it's great," Garcia said.
