Our next minor league roster projection is Bowling Green, which is now the organization’s Class A-Advanced affiliate.
Triple-A Durham projection
Double-A Montgomery projection
Catcher: Blake Hunt
In our estimation, Hunt is the team’s top catcher prospect. He was acquired in the Blake Snell trade and has the defensive attributes teams look for in catchers. He spent 2019 playing against Bowling Green when it was still in the Class-A Midwest League, and he was at the Padres’ alternate site in 2020. It could be a competition between Hunt and Ford Proctor to start the season in Double A.
