Cal Quantrill knows who he has been, who he is and who he can be.
The pitcher that has best embraced the nebulous nature of the Padres pitching staff owns his paradoxical thinking.
Quantrill grew up in a nice house in a town on the shore of Lake Ontario.
He spent a good portion of his childhood running around major league ballparks and watching his father, Paul, pitch.
Young Cal traveled the world pitching for the Canadian Junior National Team. He went to Stanford on a baseball scholarship. He was the eighth overall pick in the 2016 draft.
