After going high school talent with their first two picks, will the Padres turn their attention to college players on day two of the 2020 MLB Draft?

The Padres followed general manager AJ Preller’s M.O. on day one of the MLB Draft to a “T.” Known for taking the top high school talent in the first round, that’s exactly what the Padres did, taking Robert Hassell with the eighth overall pick and Justin Lange with the 34th overall pick as part of the competitive balance round.
