Prospect Garrett on Majors: 'I think I'm ready'

LOUISVILLE -- In a small conference room in the lowest level of Louisville Slugger Field sat Reds prospect Amir Garrett; the plush office chair underneath him dwarfed by the frame of the 6-foot-5, 210-pound left-hander.

Leaning back, hands behind his head, Garrett's posture carried a certain aloofness. Although soft-spoken, his words paint the picture of a competitive and confident player.

"There's always room for improvement," Garrett said. "I think I'm, for the most part, pretty much ready [for the Majors] right now."

After his 2016 campaign, Garrett has a lot to be confident about.
