## Resource

The Padres struck gold in their draft, loading up on college talent to build depth while strategically saving bonus money for tougher signings — including high school phenom Denton Lord, a 6-foot-7 righty recovering from Tommy John surgery. They also snagged power-hitting college outfielder Ezekiel Zion and several seniors who’ll sign below slot, plus a graduate student pitcher — all while targeting catcher development. Rob Evans, Miami’s senior ace, emerged as a standout arm. With July 27th as the deadline, they’re banking on top pick Coleman Borthwick to anchor their bonus pool and lead a well-rounded, high-upside class.
