It’s remarkable what a difference a year makes. Before the 2019 season, the San Diego Padres rotation was a wide-open competition with the better part of ten players having a shot at landing five slots. Heading into the 2020 season, the depth of the rotation is phenomenal to the point that it’s going to be difficult to give the team the best chance to win without hindering anyone’s development.
One of those players is Cal Quantrill, who made 23 appearances – including 18 starts – last year, posting a 5.16 ERA while striking out 89 batters in 103.
