View Draft Report
The son of former major league all-star Steve Garvey, Ryan was one of the biggest names in Southern California's recruiting class last fall, but he struggled in fall ball and transferred to Riverside CC at the semester break. He is much the same player he was a year ago: a physical corner outfielder with average to plus raw power, with a tendency to swing and miss, keeping him from making the best use of his pop. He'll need to improve his pitch recognition to become a serviceable hitter, but he can punish fastballs. Garvey is a below-average runner with a below-average arm, likely tying him to left field. Scouts think it's likely the Dodgers will draft the son of their franchise icon.
