The Padres EVT Podcast’s latest show, In Focus, is back with an all-new episode.
This week, hosts Diego Garcia and Willy Warren are joined by MLB Pipeline writer (and prospect guru) Sam Dykstra to discuss the current state of the Padres’ farm system.
Join in as the guys discuss the upside of top prospects Ethan Salas, Kruz Schoolcraft, and Kash Mayfield, as well as some players who made a name for themselves this season, the likes of which include Jagger Haynes, Braedon Karpathios, Garrett Hawkins, and many more. Sam also provides industry insight on the process which evaluators and scouts go through when ranking and assessing minor league talents, as well as a few stories from evaluating the Padres’ system.
