Toronto Blue Jays select Santiago Garcia in 12th round of MLB Draft

Santiago Garcia, a left-handed pitcher from LSU, was drafted by the Toronto Blue Jays with the 372nd overall pick in the 2026 MLB Draft on July 12, 2026. After transferring from Oregon, Garcia emerged as a top option in LSU's bullpen this past season, recording a 5.96 ERA and striking out 35 in 22.2 innings. He is the fifth player from the LSU roster to be selected in this year’s draft. Garcia's ability to throw in the mid-90s likely contributed to his selection despite potential interest in returning to improve his draft stock.
