White Sox pick up 2021 option
The White Sox exercised Garcia's $3.5 million club option for 2021 on Friday.
ANALYSIS
The 29-year-old missed a chunk of the season due to surgery on his left thumb in August, but he returned from the injured list for the playoffs. Garcia appeared in 16 games and had a .271/317/.441 slash line with three home runs in 63 plate appearances. He's likely to enter spring training working in a utility role for Chicago.

Stat Review
How does Leury Garcia compare to other hitters?
This section compares his stats with all batting seasons from the previous three seasons (minimum 400 plate appearances)*. The bar represents the player's percentile rank. For example, if the bar is halfway across, then the player falls into the 50th percentile for that stat and it would be considered average.
* Exit Velocity and Barrels/PA % are benchmarked against 2019 data (min 400 PA) and Hard Hit Rate is benchmarked against last season's data (min 400 PA). See here for more exit velocity/barrels stats plus an explanation of current limitations with that data set.

After injuries limited him to fewer than 90 games in both 2017 and 2018, Garcia appeared in a career-high 140 contests and hit .279 in 618 plate appearances in 2019. He opened the season as the White Sox's starting center fielder and spent most of his time hitting atop the order despite an abysmal walk rate (3.4%), which resulted in a team-high 93 runs. While Garcia swiped a career-high 15 bases, he failed to hit double-digit home runs (8) even with the uptick in opportunities, as his power was essentially non-existent (2.5% barrels/PA, .099 ISO). The majority of Garcia's appearances came in the outfield, though he also made a handful of starts around the infield (16 at shortstop, two at third base and one at second). Garcia's versatility coupled with his below-average bat (83 wRC+) make him best suited for a utility role.
