Padres’ Minor League Roundup for August 10th

Mandatory Credit: milb.com

Single-A: Fort Wayne TinCaps (52-66)

The Fort Wayne TinCaps were outhit by the Lake County Captains 15-11 resulting in a losing score of 12-6. 2014 first round pick Trea Turner continued his terror at the plate going 3-for-5 on the season including a solo home run in the 5^th innings. Turner fell in the draft due to question marks associated with his bat, but he has put those questions marks since being drafted. Turner has already been promoted once and may see one more before the end of the season. Turner has been destroying this completion since joining Fort Wayne. He owns a triple slash line of .431/.496/.642. As a lifelong Padres fan it is awesome to see a first round pick has so much success so early in his professional development. This may be one of the few first round picks to have a successful Major League career for the Padres.

Fort Wayne LF Mick Schultz also had a great night at the plate going 1-for-3 with a 2B and 2 RBI on the night. Schultz is quietly also having a great season. He owns a triple slash line of .307/.358/.500 on the season after being promoted for Class-A Eugene.
