The Padres drafted right-hander Jacob Nix with their third-round pick.
The Padres used their third-round draft pick, 86th overall, on right-hander Jacob Nix, the same pitcher who lost an opportunity to start his pro career amid last year's impasse between Brady Aiken and the Astros.
Houston selected Nix in the fifth round last June and was prepared to give him an above-slot signing bonus of $1.
