Luis Amado García (born January 30, 1987) is a Dominican professional baseball pitcher who is a free agent.
He previously played in Major League Baseball (MLB) for the Philadelphia Phillies and Los Angeles Angels.
García was originally signed by the Los Angeles Dodgers organization as an amateur free agent in 2004, at the age of 16.
His initial MLB call-up occurred on July 9, 2013.
García made his big league debut, the next day, July 10, 2013, versus the Washington Nationals, at Citizens Bank Park.
That day, he pitched one scoreless inning, in relief of Phillies ace, Cliff Lee.
García has had two stints playing professional baseball, initially from 2006 to 2010, and from 2013 to the present time.
The former stint was with the Dodgers and Nationals organizations, while the latter was with the Phillies organization.
During the period in between, García was mostly out of baseball, working in the barbering and moving businesses, save for a brief, rocky 2012 comeback attempt, in independent ball.
