Ottawa, ON - The Toronto Blue Jays purchased the contract of Ottawa Titans' right-handed pitcher Brett Garcia on Wednesday.
Garcia, 25, was off to a blazing start with the Titans this season, going 2-2 with three saves and a 5.74 ERA in 11 outings. Over 15.2 innings, the right-hander allowed 11 runs (ten earned) on 13 hits, walking just three, and striking out 22. In six of his outings, Garcia did not allow an earned run. He retired two or more on strikes in four appearances. Garcia had a first homestand to remember this season, recording a win and three saves, striking out a combined 13 over five and two-thirds innings.
Garcia joined the Titans in a trade with the Fargo-Moorhead RedHawks of the American Association following his professional debut in 2024. In 13 appearances last season after turning pro, Garcia went 1-2 with a 5.30 ERA across 18.2 innings pitched - walking 10 opposing hitters while striking out 16.
The 6-foot-1 right-hander had joined the RedHawks following the best season of his collegiate career at Abilene Christian University (Abilene, Texas) - in which he went 3-5 with a 3.98 ERA in 22 games (two starts, 20 in relief) while striking out 67.
Hailing from La Mirada, California, Garcia tossed five seasons of collegiate baseball at four different schools: University of California, Irvine (Irvine, California), Cypress College (Cypress, California), Baylor University (Waco, Texas), and Abilene Christian University (Abilene, Texas) from 2020-2024. In 63 career collegiate contests (13 starts, 50 in relief), Garcia was a lifetime 7-8 with a 4.97 ERA - walking 78 and fanning 152 in 116 career innings.
Garcia is expected to be assigned to the Blue Jays' Florida Complex League affiliate in Dunedin, Florida, and becomes the fourth member of the Ottawa Titans to have their contract purchased by a Major League organization in franchise history. It also marks the first time that the franchise has had multiple players signed to a Major League organization in one season.
