6 innings 1 hit, 1 run. Nice way to break in to AA. But he walked 1 batter! All the way up to 5 walks. This entire season.

Today is a good day for fans of the minor league system - Paddack goes for San Antonio, Luis Patino goes for Fort Wayne and Ryan Weathers makes his minor league debut in the desert.

Deserves his own thread, but for now, Luis Patino goes 5 innings, 0 hits, 1 walk and 7 strikeouts against Dayton. 18 year old pitcher out of Baranquilla, Colombia. Will be a top 100 prospect next season at some point if he continues along similar trajectory. ERA hovering just over 2 in nearly 60 innings in the Midwest League as one of the top youngest pitchers in the league. Also, he holds the highest swinging strike percentage of any minor league teenage pitcher, period. (23rd overall, for context, only one other teenager is in the top 150 and he also happens to be a Padre - Adrian Morejon)....Impressive.

I love their ageDif stat. It shows the difference in the players age and league average age. For Patino it is -3.9'. Patino is part of the Padres monster 2016 foreign free agent class.

He also has the lowest qualified ERA of any minor league pitcher since May 28th.

Hernandez is a lower ceiling, smoke and mirrors guy, prime regression candidate. Pitching well, but not on the level of a Patino or Paddack or a host of others.

You would know more about his abilities than I do (which is nothing) but I imagine some Padres scouts felt the same way about Corey Klubers "lower ceiling" when he was a Padres farmhand 6 or 7 years ago and SD dealt him to CLE for basically nothing. Two Cy Youngs later......... Sometimes you never know, but you have to be pleased with the production.

Apples to oranges, bud. Hernandez is a "pitchability" lefty with more hits than innings pitched and an FIP almost a full run higher than his ERA. Some of the advanced metrics indicate he's likely to suffer a dropoff in performance. He's two years older than Patino, who has a 0.94 ERA in his last ten starts as the third youngest pitcher in the Midwest League. Certain statistics are good indicators of future success (Swinging strike rate, K/9, H/9, etc)...Patino checks all those boxes, Hernandez doesn't. That's not to say Osvaldo isn't a good pitcher, but there's a reason he's not in any top 30's.

Fair rebuttal! Nicely done.

I really think Kluber transformed his entire game later in his career. I also think that's a statistical outlier, not a traditional norm. Sidenote - Lake Elsinore has a chance to be stupid talented next year. A rotation headlined by Gore, Patino and Anderson Espinoza, who's throwing off a mound now with no restrictions. Sign. Me. Up.

Looks like they let another starter get away. Gave up on Mikolas a bit early.

That's a little absurd considering Mikolas was never a starter for the Padres at all and in his one year as a starter prior to Japan, he had almost a 7 ERA with Texas. Some guys are statistical anomalies and outliers and just transform themselves. Hard to fault the Padres for this because Mikolas was just okay in relief.

Why give up on a player before trying him as a starter? But, the Pads have a history making questionable moves. I’ve been a Padre fan since they were in the PCL and get tired of the losing.
