SSS rank among all left-handed relief pitchers in the system: 7
2020 SSHP Top Prospect Rank: 85

Garvin Alston Jr. is the son of long-time respected pitching and bullpen coach Garvin Alston, so he’s had baseball in his veins since birth. After struggling in two seasons as a reliever with Arizona State University, Alston transferred to the University of South Carolina-Aiken for his junior and senior seasons.

As a senior in 2019, Alston was converted to the Pacers rotation and fared reasonably well despite a serious lack of control.
