Javi Gracia could return to work immediately after leaving Watford, with Mallorca preparing a deal for him.

This is according to the football of Majorca. The Spanish outlet reports that Garcia has emerged as a ‘surprise candidate’ for the Mallorca job.

Mallorca are looking for their next manager after sacking Jagoba Arrasate on Monday. He is currently 18 years old^th in La Liga after Sunday’s 2-0 defeat to Celta Viga. This was their third consecutive defeat, leaving them one point short of a safe place.

The search is already underway but now ‘everything is pointing towards Garcia’. He is currently a free agent after resigning as Watford head coach on 1 February^{scheduled tribe}.

How Watford’s exit throws away Spanish opportunity

Gracia was at Vicarage Road for only four months after starting his second stint at the club. Reports indicate that amid frustration over the lack of activity in the January transfer window, he felt he no longer had the motivation for the job.

It is unclear whether this will be a factor if Mallorca make a move for him. But he has a relationship with his sporting director Pablo Ortales. The pair know each other well from their time at Villarreal.

This seems to be opening the door to a reunion in Mallorca. Futbol Desde Mallorca report that the 55-year-old is intent on leaving at the moment.

However, they say the move is not concrete and things are subject to change. The former Watford coach is currently the frontrunner.

Mallorca will be the seventh Spanish team

If Garcia makes the move, it would be the seventh Spanish team he has ever been in charge of.

He began his career at Villarreal, before moving to Pontevedra, Cadiz, Almería, Osasuna, Málaga and Valencia.

This has seen them enjoy varying levels of success, particularly in La Liga. It now seems that Mallorca have set their sights on him to keep them at the Spanish top flight.

After Watford, some Spanish island sun can be quite tempting.

2025 年統計數據： 60 G、285 PA、0.293/.449/.558 (1.007)、57 R、15 HR (26 XBH)、20 BB%、12.6 K%、126 wRC+、8 SB (89%)。

2025 年 MLB 選秀缺乏完善的大學打擊工具，更不用說強大的打擊/力量組合了。到了 2026 年，情況就不一樣了。大學裡有大量的球棒，他們擁有各種各樣的技能，但價值觀卻大致相似。來自弗吉尼亞州的格雷西亞有機會成為這群人中最全面的進攻型球員。今年春天，格拉西亞有機會躋身前五順位，所以讓我們深入了解一下他的個人資料。

格拉西亞在杜克大學度過了令人難以置信的新秀賽季，在 60 場比賽中打出 0.305/.440/.559 擊出 14 個本壘打和 119 個 wRC+。他在第二個賽季的起步要慢得多，但反彈得很好。他以 1.007 OPS 結束賽季，打出 15 個本壘打（26 個額外安打），並取得了出色的 126 wRC+。

那麼格雷西亞在2025年開局如此低迷之後是如何反彈的呢？他對自己的揮桿動作進行了一些微妙的調整，特別是他在本壘板上的設置，這使他處於更好的位置，可以更快地擊球。格蕾西亞放下雙手，稍微收起姿勢，減輕了負擔。這使得格拉西亞的擊球次數遠高於平均水平。

2025 年，他的整體接觸率約為 85%，儘管他的區域內接觸並不那麼出色。這與對盤子的敏銳洞察力相結合。 Gracia 僅有 18% 的時間進行追逐。所有這些加起來，到 2025 年保送率將達到荒謬的 20%，三振率將達到 12.6%。這種將進攻方式、擊球技巧和本壘紀律相結合的球員很難找到。

那麼他的接觸傷害如何呢？格雷西亞用力擊球。他的平均退出速度和 EV90 都在 2025 年 D1 棒球比賽中的第 85% 左右。儘管如此，遊戲中仍有更多能量。在這裡，值得重新審視他的方法。
