EDGE Analysis

Paddack underwent Tommy John surgery last July, but remains one of the top prospects in the Padres' organization despite missing all of the 2017 season. The 21-year-old righty will continue building back his velocity heading into the offseason with the hopes of getting back to minor-league action next year.
