Dermis García is a power-hitting infielder from Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic. A right-handed batter who bats and throws right, he spent time with the Oakland Athletics in Major League Baseball. Since 2026 he has played for the Kochi Fighting Dogs of the Shikoku Island League Plus, an independent league in Japan — not an NPB club. At the plate he is a power-first hitter: his best contact produces real damage and barrels, but he also carries a high swing-and-miss rate, so his value comes from punishing mistakes rather than from a high-average, contact-stability profile. He has already shown that power in Japan, hitting back-to-back home runs against Ehime on July 4, 2026 — his 18th of the season, tying the league's single-season home run record.
In an interview tied to Roberto Clemente Day, García spoke about Roberto Clemente, describing him as a model and a source of inspiration for players from Latin America.
He also offered a message to young Latino players and communities about continued hard work and staying connected to their roots (remarks summarized).
