Existing foreign pitcher Denny Reyes recently removed his Lions uniform due to a fine fatigue fracture in the right foot. In place of Reyes, Garavito will take over as one of the starting players in the future.
Garavito signed on the condition of a $356,666 salary for the rest of the season. The original fastball team Texas Rangers has a transfer fee of $200,000.
Born in the Dominican Republic in 1995, right-handed pitcher Garavito, who is 30 years old, is 183 centimeters tall and weighs 100 kilograms. The average speed of four-seam fastballs is 151.4km, which is powerful, and various pitches such as two-seam fastballs, curves, change-ups, and sliders are also strong.
He has played at the major league level from 2024 to this year, and has lost two games in 21 big league games (two starts), a 5.77 ERA and a 1.49 WHIP.
Garavito played mostly as a starting pitcher in the minor leagues. In 175 minor league games (146 starts), he recorded 30 wins and 54 losses with a 3.76 ERA and a WHIP of 1.32.
He is also a pitcher who has attracted attention from NPB and KBO teams over the past two years due to his strong fastball and variety of pitches.
After completing medical tests after entering the country, Garabito "It feels great to be with the new team. It's a new experience for myself. I don't know much about the KBO League, but I played with Diaz in Dominica and I know some about Furado. I will try to win every game for the Lions fans. I'll do my best to win the team," he said.
