Jorge Garcia

## About

Jorge Garcia is the resident rich kid in the Backyard League. He wears glasses and tie, and he doesn't like to get dirty.

Jorge's near-clones are Johnny Omar and Linda Potter. Their stats look more like the Webber twins than Jorge.

Something to note is that Jorge got a batting buff from the 1997 version to the 2001/2003 versions, but his clones didn't.

## Scouting Reports

### Backyard Baseball 2001 and 2003

Jorge Garcia

Jorge is best known for his awful swinging technique which goes downwards at a 45 degree angle. Miraculously, he's still a decent hitter, with some pop in his 8/10 bat. He also has enough speed to leg out some doubles from time to time. On defense, he is surprisingly decent, or even solid. He has a solid 79/100 arm strength stat, decent stamina(69/100), and despite his average Coordination stat, he has a pretty reliable glove due to his height. However, his vision is among the worst of the worst, and his green fielding circle is gigantic. Something to note is that he has a low priority for 1B, SS, or C, so he is often placed in the outfield by the AI.

### Backyard Football 2002

Jorge Garcia

Jorge is one of the worst kids in the game, and this may be due to the fact that he doesn't like to get dirty. He can make a decent quarterback with his average throwing skill, and can also be an emergency kicker. Despite his 3/10 catching, he does catch quite a bit just because he is tall. He isn't very useful on defense, because he can't tackle anything.

## League History

### BBL

#### Season 1

Jorge was selected by the Monsters with the first pick of the 8th round, but he was eventually traded to the Braves and coach GSchlim. Jorge played third base and was an integral part of the offense. He helped the Braves win the first BBL World Series.

#### Season 2

Jorge was drafted in the 8th round again and played for coach GSchlim again, this time for the Angels. Incredibly, Jorge was the designated starting pitcher for the AI version of the Angels. However, GSchlim did not use him on the mound on the user side.

#### Season 3

In Season 3, Jorge was drafted 76th overall, in the 4th round by coach Yurya of the Monsters. He had a great statistical season here, setting career highs in RBIs, runs, SBs, and runs created.

#### Season 4

With increased knowledge of AI defenses, Jorge's draft stock dropped to pick 119 in the 5th round, where he was selected by coach Ellman of the Hornets. His numbers dropped slightly from season 3, but he was still a solid hitter in the middle of the lineup.

#### Season 5 - Lulu

Jorge kept falling in the draft, and he was finally drafted with pick #138 in round 7 by coach Mavfatha of the Orioles. Jorge had perhaps his worst season yet, but he was still no slouch at the plate.

#### Season 6

Jorge was drafted in a similar position, pick 135 of the 6th round by coach shrewsbury91 of the Cardinals. Jorge's number went down even further than Season 5, but he did help the Cardinals win the consolation tournament.

#### Season 7

Jorge was drafted at his lowest spot yet, pick 149 in the 7th round by coach Kiiiiiiiiiiiiis of the Cubs. Kiiiiiiiiiiiiis thought he got a steal with his Jorge pick, as Jorge has more pop in his bat than most realized. This was confirmed by the release of the full attributes midway through the season. Jorge had a solid year at the plate and helped the Cubs finish with a 10-4 regular season record.

#### Season 8

Jorge got taken a little earlier in the Season 8 draft, as he was selected with the 115th pick in the 5th round by coach Vissery of the Hornets, although he was eventually traded to coach aesnop of the Mariners. Jorge was a key bat in the middle of the lineup and played a great third base for the Mariners. He slugged a career high 10 home runs, and recorded his highest numbers in RBIs, runs, stolen bases, and batting average since the pre-Lulu days.

#### Season 9

In Season 9, Jorge was drafted 132nd overall in the 6th round by coach Marco of the Wombats. Jorge had perhaps the worst season of his career, with career lows in batting average (0.381), home runs (2), RBIs (7), and runs scored (7).

#### Season 10

##### 2001

Jorge came back for more in Season 10. In the 2001 league, he was drafted with the 108th overall pick in the 5th round by coach Natetastic28 of the Braves. Jorge bounced back from his Season 9 efforts, batting 0.582 with 6 homers and 21 RBIs. Jorge helped the Braves win their division and reach the NLCS.

##### 2003

Remarkably, Jorge was also drafted 108th overall in the 2003 league, by coach bobbyBONES2370 of the Astros. He found slightly less success here, but was still a contributor, batting 0.553 with 13 RBIs and 10 runs scored. He also helped the Astros win their division.
