Gustavo Karim García Aguayo (born October 29, 1975) is an outfielder for the Diablos Rojos del México of the Mexican Baseball League and Yaquis de Obregón in the Mexican Pacific League. García bats and throws left-handed, and has been nicknamed "The Latino Bambino."

Born in Ciudad Obregón, Mexico, García signed as an amateur free agent with the Los Angeles Dodgers in 1992 at just sixteen years old. After batting .319 with twenty home runs and 91 runs batted in for the Albuquerque Dukes in 1995, he became the youngest player in Major League Baseball when he debuted with the Dodgers that September. He also received major league calls in 1996 and 1997, but spent most of tenure with the Dodgers as a minor leaguer. In five seasons in their farm system, he compiled a .281 batting average, 98 home runs and 375 RBIs. His first career home run came off of Osvaldo Fernández at Candlestick Park in 1997.

On November 18, 1997, the Arizona Diamondbacks selected García as the ninth overall pick in the 1997 Major League Baseball expansion draft. He earned a spot on the D-Backs' inaugural season opening day line-up, hitting the second home run in franchise history in the ninth inning of their 9-2 loss to the Colorado Rockies. Following just one season in Arizona, García was traded to the Detroit Tigers in exchange for Luis Gonzalez and cash.
