Scouting Report
Updated May 19, 2026
Adolis García is experiencing a recent slump with the Philadelphia Phillies, going 0-for-16 with a 0:8 BB:K ratio over his last four contests as of May 15, 2026. He was given a day off Friday to regroup. However, García has made meaningful adjustments to his plate approach, reducing his zone-swing rate by 5.6% and chase rate by 6%, which has improved his walk rate over 3%. Over his last dozen games prior to the slump, he slashed .311/.347/.511 with four extra-base hits, eight RBI, and six runs scored. He hit a home run on May 7 in a win over the Athletics. The underlying metrics show he is hitting the ball harder but pulling less frequently, which has suppressed overall numbers but raised his floor.
