White Sox won’t force it with Avisail Garcia’s development

It’s easy to forget Avisail Garica will only turn 24 in June, given the White Sox outfielder is already in his fourth major league season and has played in more World Series games (three) than every one of his teammates besides Melky Cabrera.

His youth means there’s likely more to his game than his impressive start to the season would show. But his coaches aren’t thinking about where he can grow his game, not while he has a .872 OPS through 33 games.

“Experience is going to the biggest thing for him once he levels out, as far as understanding what people are trying to do to him and go from there,” manager Robin Ventura said.
