Kansas City Royals third baseman Maikel Garcia enjoyed a breakout 2025 season filled with multiple accolades.<\/p>\n

[–><\/p>\n

Garcia made the Major League Baseball All-Star Game for the first time and finished the season with some MVP votes. The 25-year-old (he turns 26 in March) also received his first Gold Glove and a well-deserved contract extension<\/a>.<\/p>\n

[–><\/p>\n

Now, Garcia is officially recognized as being among the best players<\/a> in the majors. On Wednesday, Garcia was ranked at No. 65 on MLB Network\u2019s top 100 list. He joins two KC teammates \u2014 first baseman Vinnie Pasquantino (No. 93) and pitcher Cole Ragans (No. 89) \u2014 in the rankings … so far.<\/p>\n

[–>[–><\/p>\n

Last season, Garcia hit .286 with 16 home runs, 74 RBIs and 23 stolen bases. He registered a 5.8 WAR (wins above replacement) while developing as a sure-handed defensive tandem with Bobby Witt Jr. on the left side of the infield.<\/p>\n

[–><\/p>\n

Garcia could reach new heights this coming season. The Royals have decided to move in their outfield fences,<\/a> with the hope of generating more offense. Garcia thrived when pulling the baseball in the air, so the cozier dimensions could lead to more homers and extra-base hits.<\/p>\n

[–><\/p>\n

The Royals put their faith in Garcia in 2025. He enters the 2026 season as their everyday third baseman and a key component of their offense.<\/p>\n

[–><\/p>\n

\u201cWhen we think about the Royals and what our identity is, he embodies everything we look for in a position player,\u201d Royals general manager J.J. Picollo said last month. \u201cWe talk about defense, situational hitting and baserunning. You can check all three boxes with Maikel.\u201d<\/p>\n
