Padres Draft Pitcher Guyette | San Diego Padres News

Padres kick off Day 2 of the MLB draft with a loaded roster still in the making, having already snagged high school ace Coleman Borthwick on Day 1. Now, they’re diving into Rounds 2-16, with a standout fifth-round pick being 21-year-old righty James Guyette from Kansas State. Guyette’s 97 mph fastball and sharp slider are drawing serious buzz, especially after striking out 105 batters in under 80 innings as a junior — all without an MLB.com ranking. This draft is shaping up to be a blueprint for future success, with young arms like Guyette potentially becoming the next big thing.
