OTF Premium Baseball lands transfer portal commitment from Texas Tech INF Linkin Garcia

[Jeff Howe]

While preparing for the Austin Super Regional against Oregon, Jim Schlossnagle and Texas landed a massive transfer portal commitment on Wednesday, adding former Texas Tech INF Linkin Garcia to the 2027 roster.

A projected top-100 prospect for the 2027 MLB  Draft, the 6-foot-5-inch, 218-pound Garcia hit .339 with 18 doubles, four home runs, 58 RBI and 53 runs scored in 55 games for the Red Raiders as a freshman.

6ft5 220lb Shortstop?  Or will he slide to one of the corners maybe?

With A-Rod coming back, my guess is Garcia will be at third. If Borba comes back, he’ll be at first base.

EDIT: Confirmed from a source that Texas has recruited Garcia to play third base. Could be a hellacious left side of the infield between Garcia and A-Rod.

Great pickup.

Oh, and F Tech!!!!!!!!!!

Like the addition. Not a huge power bat yet, but certainly has the frame for adding the long ball.

3 of his 4 homers came by March 13th

Schloss ain’t messing around with the lineup in 2027

By the end of this week? Unknown for now. But the staff is certainly hunting for the correct pieces
