The average age of players in “High-A” ball is typically a hair under 23. At this level, we see a lot of guys who played college baseball, or who have spent years and years toiling at the lower levels of the developmental ranks, hoping for one big break.
Padres catching prospect Luis Campusano has done neither of those things.
Drafted with 39th overall out of a Georgia high school in 2017, Campusano has progressed from Rookie ball to High-A Lake Elsinore in just over two years.
Now, he’s the co-MVP of the High-A Cal League, despite being just 20 years of age.
