Snelling, LHP ranked #16 ... guess under slot for Lesko gets them over slot Snelling?

Folks on MLB really liked the pick ... football background and mentality.

LESKO best change up in draft ..with a ++ Fastball... Snelling one of the better curveballs in the draft with a+ + fastball..

We can dream on a Lesko/Snelling/Susana 2026 3/5 of a lineup with 34 yr old Joe Musgrove at the front end of it

I look up Snelling and I find out that Lesko was already up to 99mph before he got hurt. Nice. Stuff like Luis Castillo with above average control? Gotta love it.

Another SP at #53 ... not big but good FB/Slider and developing late.

If we were concerned about future pitching ... looks as though this draft is addressing that issue.

I'll go on record saying we'll regret not drafting Melton here in 2nd round ... unless we get him in 3rd round 🙂

So we took Mr Change-up  1st...Mr curveball 2nd and now Mr Slider 3rd.. love the big Fastballs from all 3.. but all have some serious elite "other" pitches

 

Love the P approach for this draft...plus Susana (best Intl P).. this is looking really really good for the future of the Padres

Don’t forget rumored to be signing the top international player for the next signing period who catches pitchers

Read the description and watch the video of Lesko at the Perfect Game showcase. They have the guy throwing all 3 of his pitches with a speed gun tracking it. His stuff is mean. His curveball is his worst pitch and it could be an easy plus if he could just throw it for a strike. The changeup makes hitters look terrible and his fastball was a consistent 93-96. He has supposedly even added a mph or 2 since then and now tops out at 99. I was excited before but that video with his easy gas, plus control and evil secondaries has my hopes even higher.

You talking about Ethan Salas?
