Jarlin Emmanuel García (born January 18, 1993) is a Dominican professional baseball pitcher for the Miami Marlins' organization.
Early life
Growing up in Pedro Brand, García played soccer, not trying baseball until he was 15 years old. The next year, his younger sister died of drowning.[1]
Career
García signed as a free agent with the Miami Marlins, receiving a $40,000 signing bonus. He progressed slowly through Minor League Baseball, and was left exposed in the Rule 5 draft after the 2014 season.[1] In 2015, the Marlins assigned García to the Jupiter Hammerheads of the Class A-Advanced Florida State League (FSL).[2] García appeared in the FSL All-Star Game[3] and was chosen to represent the Marlins at the 2015 All-Star Futures Game.[4] The Marlins promoted him to the Jacksonville Suns of the Class AA Southern League in July.[5] In 25 combined starts, García had a 3.57 earned run average and 104 strikeouts in 133 2⁄3 innings pitched.[6] The Marlins added García to their 40-man roster after the season, protecting him from the Rule 5 draft.[7]
García began the 2016 season with Jacksonville. After making seven starts with a 4.04 ERA for the Suns, the Marlins promoted him to the major leagues on May 15, 2016.[8][9] They returned him to Jacksonville on May 20, without appearing in a major league game.[1][10]
