Just for the record ... for Lake Elsinore Storm ... from DFR ...

Prospect Watch: Regardless of the score, the big news was the professional debut of Kruz Schoolcraft, the Padres’ top pick in this year’s draft. The 6-foot-8 18-year-old out of Portland, Oregon missed with his first first nine pitches, but then he settled down and struck out three of the next four batters he faced. A double in the mix cashed in the two free runners he’d put on, but the young lefty avoided further damage. On the night, he threw 38 pitches, 20 for strikes, as he worked 1.2 innings. His four-seam fastball was in the upper-90s and touched 98 several times, and he showed off his best secondary pitch, a changeup. He had only thrown once against professional competition in Arizona, so the outing mostly served as an opportunity to get his feet wet at the full-season level.
