Padres Land High School Pitching Star | San Diego Padres News

The Padres just locked down their top draft pick, Coleman Borthwick, a towering 6’6” Florida phenom who dominated high school with a 0.21 ERA, 11 wins, and 120+ strikeouts—plus a fastball that cracks 97-98 mph and a nasty slider. Signed for $3.8M, he’s skipping college to chase the big leagues, fueled by raw talent and competitive fire. Scouts rave about his dominance, while the Padres race against time to finalize their draft class—though fellow teammate Denton Lord, picked later in the 17th round, may not sign. Borthwick’s already got the makings of a future ace, and he’s adding a changeup to his arsenal to sharpen his edge.
