This past week, we dove into the San Diego Padres’ prospects who made this year’s Top 100 list and looked at four players who may find themselves on that list soon.
One name we haven’t touched on at all is RHP Pedro Avila. Avila, 21, joined the Padres in December of 2016 in exchange for catcher Derek Norris. Norris was coming off a season that saw him hit a measly .186 with a wRC+ of 56 for the Padres. The move allowed San Diego to hand the reins over to top prospect, Austin Hedges.
