The Pittsburgh Pirates add another impressive arm to an already impressive draft class by picking college pitcher Nick Garcia with their third round pick, and the 79th overall pick in the 2020 draft. With the Bucs selecting Garcia, this makes the third straight pitcher they have picked in the draft.
Garcia, 21 years old, sits at a 6’4, 215 pounds. He has drawn comparisons to former Washington Nationals’ starting pitcher and all-star Jordan Zimmerman. After all, his frame is very similar to Zimmerman’s 6’2, 225 frame. He also has a frame comparable to Astros’ Ryan Presley (6’3, 210).
