## Resource

The Padres made waves in the 2026 draft by selecting 18-year-old right-hander Coleman Borthwick, the first high school pitcher off the board and just the third straight year they’ve started with a prep arm. A two-way star from South Walton High, Borthwick boasts a fastball that hit 98 mph and touched 100 as a senior, paired with a nasty slider. Standing 6’6” and 245 pounds, he’s built like a future workhorse starter — and while committed to Auburn, the Padres are clearly focused on turning him into a frontline MLB pitcher. With no college player selected first since 2016, this move underscores their commitment to developing young talent from the high school ranks. Keep an eye on Borthwick — he’s got the tools to be a cornerstone. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
