Rough news here: CJ Abrams, perhaps the Padres' best prospect and MLB Pipeline's No. 8 overall, was diagnosed with a fractured left tibia and a sprained MCL after his collision at second base in the ninth inning on Wednesday. He will miss the remainder of the season.
Went to AA Harrisburg vs. Somerset w/ Medina pitching.
He was impressive IMO.
Def has A+ fastball with sink to it. Sometimes throws it flat though but still blew it by a less than stellar lineup. Effortless coming out of his hand and easy delivery. Actually worked better from stretch to buckle down it seemed.
He struggled a bit early with command but only 1-2 walks. If he needed the fastball, it ended the AB. Only two hits allowed, both soft liners to opp field.
D. Garcia, the 1B with 14 HRs did NOT impress me a bit. Looked lost at the plate and his defense was brutal.
C Lopez, who was stellar defensively and RF Beltre, who hit a moonshot bomb, both looked better, at least for today…
