Padres’ Top Canadian Prospect On Fire | San Diego Padres News

Elliot Lascelles is a Canadian phenom the Padres are already calling their top-five prospect—despite being just drafted in the second round for over $2.8 million.

The Padres are thrilled with his approach, athleticism, and upside—and they’re ready to push him hard as he climbs the ladder.
