2027 at the latest. Needs to improve a bit on his swing decisions but generally good for someone so young; has improved walk rate and lowered K rate over the course of the season. Also, normally makes hard contact and hits to all fields. Has good hands and range on defense but already has filled out at 17 and might have to move to 3b if gets any bigger. Impressive athlete and reports are that he has a good work ethic and is a good teammate.

If you’re a Padres prospect, it’s probably safe to keep your bags packed at all times. Homer Bush Jr. was moved to the Rays along with RHP Dylan Lesko and C JD Gonzalez for Jason Adam at the deadline. He was among the minor league leaders with 57 stolen bases in 114 games at the High-A level, but found himself on the outside looking in after moving to a deeper Rays system. Braden Nett moved up a few spots and averaged 96 mph on his four-seam fastball this season while posting a 4.03 ERA over 18 starts with a solid strikeout rate but a walk rate that could improve. Jagger Haynes lept from No. 30 to No. 13 after a full season as a starter with High-A Fort Wayne. He could improve his command, but he got tons of swing-and-miss with his entire arsenal of secondaries.

This note from today's DFR caught my eye ... seems like a likely to add to our next Top 30 ...
Through just two games, Jorge Quintana is showing he is more than just a throw-in player in the Nestor Cortes deal. The 18-year-old had an excellent night from the leadoff spot, going 1-for-2 with a ringing double off the wall in left-center. He also drew a walk, was hit by a pitch, and stole his first base. Quintana signed out of Venezuela for $1.7 million in 2024 to headline Milwaukee’s IFA class ahead of Jesus Made. As a switch-hitter, Quintana shows a fluid stroke from both sides and has shown solid plate discipline, boasting a 12.2% walk rate in over 500 plate appearances between the DSL and ACL. Listed at 6-foot-2, 185-pounds, the power will play more gap-to-gap until he bulks up more. Still, with a max exit velocity already of 110 mph, he offers projectable power.
