Track Record: Cedeno signed with the Padres for $300,000 out of Venezuela in 2018 and quickly emerged as a favored low-level sleeper candidate. Club officials believed he was primed for a breakout season in 2021, but he suffered a meniscus tear before spring training and didn't get on the field in the Rookie-level Arizona Complex League until late August. Arm trouble then delayed Cedeno by nearly two months in 2022, but he finally made it to Low-A Lake Elsinore on May 31 for his full-season debut. He played 71 games before finishing the year in the Arizona Fall League.

Scouting Report: A developing switch-hitter, Cedeno boasts a mature, line-drive approach, solid bat-to-ball skills and good strike-zone discipline. He's been a better hitter from the left side of the plate, but he closed the gap on his splits drastically in 2022, posting a .727 OPS versus lefties compared to a .770 mark versus righties. Cedeno's swing can get too rotational, but he uses gaps well when he's locked in and flashes solid bat speed. He has strong forearms and could develop double-digit home run power as his body matures and learns to use his lower half to drive the ball. He is an average runner with average arm strength and has the potential to be an average defender across the infield, though he profiles best at third base or as an offensive-minded second baseman. Cedeno is a hard worker and a leader in the clubhouse among Latin players.

The Future: Cedeno needs reps more than anything after two injury-shortened seasons. He's still young and has time to make the necessary improvements to fulfill his potential as an everyday, switch-hitting infielder.

Track Record: A product of the Diablos Rojos academy in Mexico City, Rosman signed for $700,000 as Mexico's top amateur in the 2022 international class. While most international amateurs head to the Dominican Summer League, Rosman's advanced feel to hit led the Padres to start his professional career in the Arizona Complex League. There, his seven homers were three off the league lead as a 17-year-old. He finished his first year in pro ball playing in the Mexican Winter League, where the average age is 29.

Scouting Report: Rosman's smooth feel to hit and contact skills draw comparisons to Brewers infielder Luis Urias, whom the Padres originally signed from the same academy. Rosman keeps his hands inside the ball and, while he will swing and miss, shows the early traits of being at least an average hitter. He also has good raw power for his age, which he demonstrated in Arizona over the summer. The Padres will play Verdugo all over the infield in the early goings, but he will most likely land at third base unless he can speed up his lower half.

The Future: Verdugo held his own as the youngest player in a domestic league, warranting a push to Low-A Lake Elsinore in 2023. He has a chance to hit for average and power while staying in the dirt.

Track Record: Iriarte stood 6-foot-2 and 160 pounds when he signed out of Venezuela for $75,000 in 2018 and has since matured into an imposing figure at 6-foot-5 and 200 pounds. He showed well in the Dominican Summer League after signing (3.31 ERA), started the following year in Arizona and was hit hard when COVID protocols forced an early promotion to Low-A Lake Elsinore. Iriarte returned to the California League in 2022 and showed intriguing arm strength that made him a frequent target of opposing teams in trade discussions.

Scouting Report: Iriarte is a long, lean, athletic righthander whose growth spurt has pushed his fastball up to 95-97 mph. His fastball plays up beyond its velocity with good carry through the top of the zone and is a plus pitch, although he can be scattershot with it. Iriarte's best secondary offering is an 86-87 mph changeup with late fade could be a future above-average pitch. His mid-80s slider has been inconsistent in his early goings in pro ball but shows average potential. Iriarte is athletic on the mound, but struggles with timing in his delivery has led to fringy control.

The Future: Iriarte will head to High-A Fort Wayne in 2023. His flashes of three average of better pitches will keep him as a starter for now, but his stuff will play up in the bullpen if he has to move to relief.

Track Record: Lightly recruited out of high school, Howell blossomed over two seasons at Kirkwood (Iowa) JC and signed with the Brewers for an above-slot $210,000 bonus as a 12th round pick in 2018. He used the coronavirus shutdown to add muscle to his frame and improve his plate approach and was rewarded with a breakout season across High-A and Double-A in 2021. The Padres acquired Howell before the start of the 2022 season as part of the deal that sent Victor Caratini to Milwaukee, and Howell was in the midst of a career year through 48 games at Double-A before having season-ending wrist surgery.

Scouting Report: Howell is a high-end athlete whose best asset is his versatility. He spent time at shortstop, second base and all three outfield positions at San Antonio and is a plus runner with twitchy actions and excellent range in the field. An above-average defender everywhere, Howell remains a work in progress at the plate. He has an enticing combination of bat speed, pullside power and a discerning eye at the plate. He will have to iron out a hand-pump in his swing and improve his ability to hit spin in order to develop into an everyday regular.

The Future: Howell will head to Triple-A El Paso in 2023. He projects to be a versatile bench piece and could grow into more if he continues his offensive gains.

Track Record: The Padres scouted Williams at Darien (Conn.) High and kept tabs on him as he made his way to Duke. He pitched just 37.2 innings in his college career before having Tommy John surgery, but the Padres saw enough in that limited stint to draft him in the third round, No. 91 overall, and sign him for an above-slot $800,000 signing bonus. Williams continued rehabbing after being selected and did not pitch in live games, but he flew out to the Padres' complex in Arizona every other weekend to throw bullpens while continuing to work toward his degree at Duke.

Scouting Report: Before his elbow reconstruction, Williams sat 94-98 mph with a high-spin fastball that played up with carry at the top of the strike zone. His three-pitch mix also includes a wipeout slider that projects as a plus pitch and a fading, mid-80s changeup. Athletic on the mound, Williams still has room on his lean frame to get stronger and add more velocity as he moves further away from surgery. He throws strikes with above-average control and has solid command of all of his pitches. Williams's build, arsenal and control are that of a no-doubt starter, but if something stalls in his rehab, his stuff would also be rather loud in a relief role.

The Future: Williams is expected to be ready for spring training and could push for a spot in Low-A Lake Elsinore's rotation to start the year. He could move quickly up the organizational depth chart if his pre-injury form.

BA Grade/Risk: 50/Extreme

Track Record: King is the son of Lamar King, a former NFL first-round pick who played defensive end for five years for the Seattle Seahawks. The younger King emerged as one of the top prep catchers in his class during national travel ball tournaments and was committed to Georgia Tech before the Padres drafted him in the fifth round and signed him for $502,800. He played just four games in the Rookie-level Arizona Complex League in his pro debut while focusing on development away from live games.

Scouting Report: Built like a rush defensive end like his father, King's loud, pull power from the right side is his carrying tool. He has above-average power and could grow into more, but his swing is long and a bit stiff and will need to be ironed out in pro ball. While size typically works against catchers, King is an average runner, is quick in small spaces and sits well behind the plate. He has above-average arm strength, but his hands and receiving need work as evidenced by some of his defensive struggles in instructional league.

The Future: King is raw and has a lot of development ahead, but he has enough projectable tools to potentially click as an offensive-minded catcher with an impact bat. He'll likely open 2023 back in the ACL.

Track Record: Mears went viral during 2021 spring training with a 117 mph home run off Rockies reliever Carlos Estevez in a Cactus League game. His power continued to play at Low-A Lake Elsinore for his first full season, at least when he was in the lineup. Mears missed time to a shoulder injury, a concussion, the COVID list and a broken nose on a bunt he fouled off his face in the fall. He returned to hit 22 home runs while rising to Double-A in 2022, including 11 in 47 games after spending several weeks in the middle of the season at the Padres' complex to attempt to retool his swing.

Scouting Report: Mears stands a chiseled 6-foot-3, 242 pounds and destroys baseballs with his plus-plus raw power. He doesn't chase much and draws walks with a good eye for the zone, but he misses too many pitches in the heart of the plate and struggles with high-carry fastballs and breaking balls below the zone. He has a career 39% strikeout rate and will have to make major strides with his swing to be even a well-below average hitter. Mears has surprising speed for a big man and is playable in center field. His long-term landing spot is likely right field, where he projects to be an average defender with an average arm.

The Future: No one in the Padres system has as much raw power as Mears, but there are real questions if he'll ever make enough contact to showcase it. He'll return to Double-A San Antonio to start 2023.

Track Record: A two-way player at Fordham, Knehr intrigued the Padres as a pitcher and signed for $80,000 after they selected him in the 20th round in 2018. Knehr was the darling of the Padres' 2020 instructional league and pitched his way to the majors in 2021, appearing both out of the rotation and out of the bullpen for the Padres' injury-ravaged staff. He was an up-and-down arm again in 2022, faring far better in the majors (3.95 ERA in 13 2/3 IP) than he did at hitter-friendly Triple-A El Paso (6.88 ERA in 87 2/3 IP).

Scouting Report: Knehr packs a dangerous 1-2 punch with a high-spin, 93-95 mph fastball and an upper-80s changeup with horizontal break that has improved to become a plus pitch. He is still figuring out his mound presence and pitch usage, however. Lauded in the minors for an aggressive, bulldog mentality, Knehr spent much of his initial big-league time nibbling around the strike zone and was too reliant on his upper-80s cutter. His changeup gets hit when he overthrows it, so he continues to work to choke off velocity. Knehr added an average curveball in 2022 to add a bit more differential in his pitch speeds and he threw that pitch 20 percent of the time in the majors. His control took a step back in 2022 and is firmly below-average.

The Future: Knehr will again be in big-league spring training with a chance to win a job. He projects to be a swingman and is ready to fill that role now.

Track Record: Vela drew little attention in high school and was committed to Texas-Rio Grande Valley, but the Padres took a chance on him and signed him for $125,000 as a 28th-rounder in 2017. The late-blooming Vela spent his first two full professional seasons in the rookie levels, came back from the coronavirus shutdown in top shape and finally ventured into full-season ball in 2021. He impressed as one of the breakout pitchers in the Padres system and continued his ascent in 2022, rising to Double-A while pitching a career-high 109.2 innings.

Scouting Report: Vela's fastball has ticked up from the added strength gains as a pro to become an above-average weapon. His four-seamer now sits 91-95 mph and plays up with carry at the top of the strike zone. His fastball command remains raw, but he gets swings and misses when he locates his heater. Vela's curveball with 1-to-7 break flashes plus and has been among the best curves in the system, while others prefer his deceptive, side-spinning changeup that shows above-average potential. Vela has below-average control because he tends to rush his delivery, but his stuff plays against hitters on both sides of the plate.

The Future: Vela appeared out of the bullpen in roughly half his appearances after his promotion to San Antonio. Without improvement of his command and control, Vela might have to settle for a middle relief role.

Scouting Grades: Fastball: 55. Curveball: 55. Changeup: 55. Control: 40.

Track Record: Marsee lettered in baseball, football and basketball at Allen Park (Mich.) High and became a two-year starter at Central Michigan, where he hit .345/.467/.550 as a redshirt sophomore while showing elite contact skills. The Padres drafted him in the sixth round and signed him for an underslot $250,000 bonus. Marsee quickly rose to Low-A Lake Elsinore after signing and hit .254/.419/.463 as the leadoff hitter on a Storm team that went on to win the California League title.

Scouting Report: A blue-collar, baseball rat, Marsee wears out pitchers with a discerning eye at the plate, plus contact skills and the ability to handle velocity. He presently has below average power and needs to learn to drive and lift the ball. More power could come with some weight gain b he was up from 180 pounds to nearly 200 late in the year b but the Padres will press upon the need for Marsee to remain athletic. He's an average runner with an average arm, but his knack for good reads and quick first steps gives him a chance to stay in center field. He has plus makeup and has shown the ability to outperform his tools.

The Future: Marsee's advanced approach at the plate could help him move quickly up the Padres system. He'll head to High-A Fort Wayne in 2023.

Scouting Grades: Hit: 55. Power: 40. Speed: 50. Fielding: 55. Arm: 50.

Track Record: An unsigned 30th-round pick of the Red Sox out of high school, Martorella started all three years at California and hit .388 during conference play in 2022, best in the Pac-12. The Padres drafted him in the fifth round and signed him for an underslot $325,000. Martorella rose quickly to Low-A Lake Elsinore after signing and finished his pro debut batting in the middle of the Storm lineup as they went on to win the California League title.

Scouting Report: A strong, physical lefthanded hitter who gets into a low crouch similar to former Padres slugger Phil Plantier, Martorella manages the strike zone well but hasn't yet developed a ton of feel to hit. His swing is fueled by brute strength rather than true bat speed or barrel accuracy, but he still hits the ball on the ground too often to showcase his average power consistently. Limited defensively to first base, Martorella is an average defender who has good footwork around the bag and soft hands. He is a bottom-of-the-scale runner.

The Future: Without positional flexibility or a ton of athleticism, Martorella will go as far as his bat takes him. He'll open 2023 at High-A Fort Wayne.

Scouting Grades: Hit: 45. Power: 50. Speed: 20. Fielding: 50. Arm: 50.

Track Record: A native of Biggar, Saskatchewan, Hawkins didn't get to pitch much at the University of British Columbia due to Canada's Covid-19 protocols, but he impressed in the draft league in 2021 to become a late riser. The Padres drafted him in the ninth round and signed him for $75,000, about half of slot value. Hawkins made his full season debut at Low-A Lake Elsinore and stood out as one of the California League's top pitchers before getting hit hard after a promotion to High-A Fort Wayne.

Scouting Report: Hawkins cuts an imposing figure at 6-foot-5, 230 pounds. His big frame and incredibly long arms generate significant extension down the mound, allowing his 93-96 mph fastball to get tons of swings and misses in the strike zone. It's a naturally back-spinning pitch with carry and finish from an over-the-top slot. Hawkins is heavily reliant on his plus fastball that is far-and-away his best pitch. His split change-up flashes above-average but is inconsistent and his slurvy, downward breaking ball is a below-averaging offering. Hawkins has good control of his long limbs and has a long track record of throwing strikes, but his walk rate spiked after his promotion to Fort Wayne.

The Future: Hawkins' fastball plays now, but how well he develops his secondaries will determine whether he ends up a starter or reliever. He'll begin 2023 back at Fort Wayne.

Track Record: Jacob's fastball sat just 85-89 mph as a starter at Gonzaga, but the Padres scouted him closely because their analytics team identified his changeup as a potential outlier. He struck out 323 batters in 288.1 collegiate innings and won West Coast Conference pitcher of the Year as a senior, leading the Padres to draft him in the 16th round and sign him for $75,000. Jacob immediately moved to the bullpen after being drafted and didn't allow a run in 13 appearances in his pro debut. He followed by rising three levels up to Triple-A in his first full season in 2022 and finished the year in the Arizona Fall League.

Scouting Report: Jacob's two-seam fastball remains well below-average at 85-89 mph, but it plays well off his plus, plus 70-74 mph changeup with heavy fade and sink. He hides the ball well in his delivery and pounds the strike zone with a whip-like stroke out of a sidearm slot. Jacob's sweepy, low-70s slider is a solid offering that he commands well, as he does with all of his pitches. He varies his delivery to disrupt hitters' timing and attacks the zone with plus control and the confidence of someone who throws much harder.

The Future: The Padres have had success developing soft-throwing relievers such as Adam Cimber and Eric Yardley into big leaguers. Jacob could be the next to make the leap in 2023.

Scouting Grades: Fastball: 30. Slider: 50. Changeup: 70. Control: 60

Track Record: Lowe attended little-known Combine Academy in remote Lincolnton, N.C., but Padres scouts found him and considered him one of the best, if least-known, prep pitchers in the draft class. They considered him a fourth or fifth-round talent and ultimately took him in the 11th round and signed him for an above-slot $400,000 bonus to forgo a Wake Forest commitment. The Padres opted to work with Lowe on the backfields after signing and did not have him pitch in the Arizona Complex League.

Scouting Report: Lowe is exceptionally strong with a sturdy lower half in his 6-foot-1, 220-pound frame. His four-seam fastball has been up to 97 mph with good carry at the top of the zone out of his three-quarters arm slot. He generates good extension in his delivery that allows his fastball to further jump on hitters. Lowe's primary secondary offering is a sweeping slider with horizontal break that projects to be an above-average pitch with more development. His changeup is a work in progress, but he has demonstrated feel for it to be an average pitch. Lowe throws strikes with average control, although he has yet to face high-level hitters on a consistent basis.

The Future: Lowe is raw and will need time, but his physicality and three-pitch mix give him a good foundation to work from. He'll make his pro debut in 2023.

Track Record: The first ever Chinese international amateur signed by the Padres, Qin hails from Major League Baseball's China Academy. He landed on the Padres' radar while pitching in the United States for the West team at Perfect Game's national showcase after the draft. The Padres pegged Qin as a top-five-round talent, signed him for $90,000 on July 30 and got him on a mound in the fall instructional league.

Scouting Report: Qin has added a considerable amount of velocity as he's matured, improving from 78-80 mph early in his days at the academy to 87-88 mph while pitching in the United States and up to 92 mph once the Padres' development staff got their hands on him. He rounds out his four-pitch mix with a big-bending curveball that sits 72-74 mph, a slider that sits in the upper 70s and a change-up in the low 80s. He has a classic, overhand delivery with a Clayton Kershaw look to it and wide enough shoulders to project more mass and more velocity as he continues to fill out a 6-foot-1 frame.

The Future: Raw and projectable, Qin will still be just 17 on Opening Day in 2023. He has the early traits of a potential back-of-the-rotation starter but has a long way to go.

Track Record: Bergert pitched mostly in the bullpen as a freshman at West Virginia in and saw his move to the rotation as a sophomore cut short after four starts due to the pandemic. He continued to trend upward in the Northwoods League but had Tommy John surgery after the summer, wiping out his junior season. The Padres had second-round grades on Bergert before surgery and remained a believer, drafting him in the sixth round and signing him for $500,000, nearly double the recommended slot amount. Bergert got back on the mound for his first full season in three years in 2022 and struggled statistically at High-A Fort Wayne but flashed promising stuff.

Scouting Report: Bergert has a well-rounded four-pitch mix he is progressively regaining feel for. His fastball sits 92-93 mph and touches 96 mph with east-west movement, although it stays true at times and gets hammered when he doesn't locate it up in the zone. His mid-80s slider, upper-70s curveball and mid-80s changeup all flash above average and were more effective pitches than his fastball in his return. Berget's arm slot and delivery were inconsistent in his first full year back from surgery, leading to fringe-average control. The Padres hope his control will improve the further he moves away from surgery.

The Future: The Padres believe Bergert is ready to take a significant step forward in his second year back from surgery in 2023.. He should start the year at Double-A San Antonio and will look to accumulate innings.

Track Record: While his older brother, Kendry, signed with the Blue Jays in 2020 as a pitcher, Rojas made a name for himself in the 22 international class as one of its best pure hitters. The Padres signed the younger Rojas for $1.3 million just before his 17th birthday and sent him to the Dominican Summer League, where he demonstrated advanced plate discipline with more walks (26) than strikeouts (23) while hitting .279/.373/.357.

Scouting Report: Rojas hasn't yet shown in-game power, but the Padres believe he has a chance to be a five-tool player. He has a quiet, balanced swing that's quick and compact and complements his ability to track and recognize pitches. His feel for the barrel produces a high contact rate and extra base power that could result in more balls over the walls as he physically matures. An average runner with a plus arm, Rojas saw time in the outfield as an amateur but is exclusively an infielder now. He has a chance to be a shortstop, but second base and third base could be future destinations.

The Future: Rojas is far from the big leagues, but his offensive aptitude could convince the Padres to push him aggressively. He'll make his stateside debut in 2023 and has a chance to be a bat-first infielder.

Track Record: The Padres first got eyes on Robinson when he was a raw high school senior with an 86-88 mph fastball and a skinny, projectable frame. They followed him closely as he moved on to Chattanooga State (Tenn.) JC and decided to draft him in the 13th round in 2021 after he touched 99 mph in the MLB draft league. Robinson was limited to just 22.2 innings at Low-A Lake Elsinore by minor injuries in 2022, but he got back on the mound in the Arizona Fall League and spent the offseason training in Atlanta.

Scouting Report: Robinson is raw as a pitcher but has a lot of intriguing traits. His fastball sits 92-96 mph with plus life and explodes out of his loose arm. His hard, mid-80s slider is developing but flashes above-average and he has flashed a promising changeup with bottom and fade, although he rarely throws it. Robinson's control is fringy and both his command and quality of his offspeed pitches are inconsistent. He should improve with more reps on the mound.

The Future: With under 30 innings on his pro resume so far, Robinson will look to build innings as a starting pitcher in the lower levels in 2023. Long-term, he profiles as a reliever with his fastball and slider combination.

Track Record: Felipe signed with the Rays on the last day of the 2014-15 international signing period for $115,000 but struggled with his control and never advanced past the Class A levels in six seasons in Tampa's system. The Padres liked Felipe's tall frame and big fastball and signed him as a minor league free agent in 2022. Felipe took off with a fresh start and dominated as the closer at Double-A San Antonio before receiving a late promotion to Triple-A El Paso. He allowed just one home run in 62 innings all year and was added to the 40-man roster after the season.

Scouting Report: A former shortstop as an amateur who simply outgrew the position, Felipe has been working to repeat a whip-like delivery since moving to the mound. His four-seam and two-seam fastballs both sit 97-98 mph and touch 101, with his two-seam the better and more frequently used of the two offerings. His mid-80s slider is a potential plus pitch with tilt and bite when he stays on top of it and his upper-80s changeup with sink and fade is a potential above-average offering, although he needs to continue to refine his command and consistency of both pitches. Felipe has long had below-average control, but he improved his strikethrowing as the season progressed last year.

The Future: Armed with the best fastball in the system, Felipe will be in big league spring training and have a chance to break camp with the Padres. His command will have to continue to improve if he's going to be more than an up-and-down reliever in the bullpen.

Track Record: Cosgrove led the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference in strikeouts as a junior at Manhattan and was drafted in the 12th round by the Padres. He was infamously arrested alongside Jacob Nix in the fall of 2019 in a home break-in near the Padres' spring training complex while he was rehabbing from Tommy John surgery but was never charged. Cosgrove moved to the bullpen after returning from surgery and thrived after a mechanical change in 2022, rising to Triple-A and earning a spot on the Padres 40-man roster after the season.

Scouting Report: A 6-foot-2 lefthander, Cosgrove's stuff was largely vanilla until he dropped his arm slot to three quarters at the suggestion of new Padres pitching development director Rob Marcello in 2022. The change added angle to his 92-95 mph fastball to make it an average pitch and altered his breaking ball from a 12-to-6, hammer curve to a sweeping, 79-82 mph slider. The changes made him particularly tough on lefties, who he held to a .136/.240/.273 line in 2022. Cosgrove also has a seldom-used changeup that is not a major part of his arsenal. He has fringy control but puts the ball over the plate enough to be effective.

The Future: Cosgrove will compete for an Opening Day bullpen spot in spring training. He projects to be a low-leverage reliever who handles lefties.
