No. 51 Rony Garcia — RHP, 6-3, 200. Age in season: 24 His season was rudely interrupted by a torn meniscus last year, just as he’d gotten back up to the big leagues. He’s come back strong and seemingly more confident. His array of off-speed and breaking pitches, out of deceptive motion, can be effective, especially against right-handed hitters. The Tigers will use him in long relief and eventually, as injured players return, he could transition to a starting role in Toledo if needed. 2021: 0-0, 2.45 ERA, 0.82 WHIP 2022 salary: $700,000
