- Garner, listed as a primary catcher, got on the mound and ripped off fastballs in the 83-85 mph range before touching 87 on his final pitch. At 5-foot-10, 205 pounds, he offers arm strength more than projection. He also showed excellent feel for his changeup, which was his best secondary pitch on this day.
