The San Diego Padres selected LHP Andrew Mitchel out of San Jose State in the eighth round of the 2019 MLB draft. Since then he has signed, and is gearing up to start his professional journey.
A quick look at his player profile on San Jose State’s website shows a more than impressive resume. His achievements include honors like First Team All-Mountain West, Mountain West Co-Pitcher of the Year, and Second Team ABCA/Rawlings West All-Region.
San Diego’s newest southpaw took some time to answer a few questions for Gaslamp Ball. Padre fans, meet Andrew Mitchel!
