Luis Patiño was once a promising pitching prospect in the San Diego system. He was expected to reach the major leagues and be a foundational piece of the Padres’ rotation for years to come. Although he did make his major league debut with San Diego, he did not remain with the team for long.
Patiño debuted with the Padres in 2020 and appeared in 11 games, finishing the season with a 5.19 ERA with 21 strikeouts and 14 walks. Not exactly eye-popping numbers, but good enough to entice another team to take him in a trade.
Luis Patiño time.
