Padres’ High-Profile Canadian Prospect | San Diego Padres News

The Padres are betting big on Canadian phenom Elliot Lascelles, who they drafted in the second round for over $2.8 million after two years of intense scouting. Already hailed as the top Canadian position player in his draft class, Lascelles is crushing it at Single-A Lake Elsinore—hitting .300+, making contact consistently, and swiping bases with ease. Scouts rave about his plate discipline and ability to use the whole field. While power isn’t his strength yet, his frame offers room to grow, and he’s splitting time between shortstop and second base—with plenty of chances to shine at the hot corner. The Padres are clearly thrilled with his early pro performance and believe he’s poised for a breakout. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
