Padres Draft High-Potential Pitcher Borthwick | San Diego Padres News

The Padres just pulled off a draft steal with 6’6” high school pitcher Coleman Borthwick, who dominated his senior year with a 0.21 ERA, 121 strikeouts, and a fastball that hits 97-98 mph. Already committed to Auburn, he’s a high-upside arm fitting the Padres’ proven strategy of targeting elite raw talent — think Schoolcraft, Gore, and Weathers. With a compensation pick boosting their draft pool, they’ve got until July 27th to sign him for around $4.22M, giving them even more leverage to build a future-ready rotation.
