Chicago Cubs: We need to pump the brakes on Robel Garcia

The Chicago Cubs Robel Garcia has raked, hitting 24 home runs between the minors and majors. However, there are a lot of holes in his swing that pitchers might be able to exploit once they figure him out.

For starters, He swings and misses at 86 percent of off-speed pitches, and 56 percent of his strikeouts came on breaking balls. Garcia hunts fastballs and usually drills them, it’s the secondary stuff that gets him.

He is 8-for-24 with three home runs in his short time in the Majors; however, 11 of his 16 outs are strikeouts.
