Scouting Reports

Midseason Update: A 32nd-round pick in 2017, Batten continued his storybook rise with his first big league callup this summer after a dominant stint at Triple-A El Paso. Batten can play all around the infield, conducts good at-bats and has some of the best instincts and awareness of any player in the Padres organization, to the point most believe he has a future as a coach or scout when his playing career ends.
