SAN DIEGO -- When the Padres selected Cal Quantrill at No. 8 overall in the 2016 Draft, he was considered by many to be a high-risk, high-reward selection. The right-hander's talent was undeniable. But coming off Tommy John surgery, his response to the operation was an unknown.
Through one year of professional ball, Quantrill, ranked as the organization's No. 2 prospect by MLBPipeline.com, has been much more reward than risk for the Padres.
Along with first baseman Josh Naylor, Quantrill will represent the Padres at the SiriusXM All-Star Futures Game on Sunday at 1 p.
