The San Diego Padres minor league system is really on the rise.
There is no guarantee of major league success, but it is nice to see the production coming from a system that has had issues cultivating young talent in the past. Things are turning the corner in the system, and that is exciting to see for the fan base.
Here is a quick glimpse at some Padres’ minor leaguers who are off to a hot start in 2018.
Not all the numbers are good across each affiliate, but there are some who deserve recognition for their early numbers.
