Scouting Report

Assets
  • Durable and dependable, Garland is a battler and inning eater. He gets ahead and challenges with his sinking fastball and uses a sharp curve and solid change to put batters away. Is always around the plate, so doesn't give up many walks.
Flaws
  • For a big guy he doesn't overpower anyone. Despite his solid command Garland gives up too many homers and too many hits in general. Could stand to be craftier with his stuff.
Career Potential
  • Steady mid-rotation starter.
