Patiño was the headliner in the Blake Snell trade. He was one of the youngest pitchers in the league, but the Padres trusted him enough to include him on their playoff roster. He has the stuff to be an elite pitcher. His fastball averaged 96.8 mph, albeit mostly in relief. His slider and changeup can both be above-average pitches as well. Like a lot of young pitchers, he’ll need to throw more strikes.
