The 6-foot-2, 195-pound LHP shows  great baseball size with a tall and strong athletic frame. The lefty has a balanced delivery that creates momentum and torque to create his velocity. Shows a high-level caliber fastball that sits at 89-90mph with good arm-side run topping out at 91mph, Due to Garland’s long release the ball seems to explode from his hand and jumps on the hitter very quickly. Garland does an outstanding job driving through the pitcher’s plane. His curveball shows depth with a 1/7 fast but late break at 75-77mph, Garland’s changeup 69-71 mph can be very effective with a 20 mph pitch differential with gradual movement.
