Padres notes: David Bednar’s first impression, affiliates playing for championships
(K.C. Alfred/San Diego Union-Tribune) San Diego Padres pitcher David Bednar on Feb. 21, 2019.The Padres haven’t shied away from using rookie David Bednar in tight spots and he hasn’t buckled
David Bednar walked into the home clubhouse at Petco Park on Friday afternoon, scanned the room and, for a fleeting moment, thought the worst when he didn’t see his jersey or a nameplate at a locker.
Of course, the rookie right-hander wasn’t going anywhere.
He’s sharing a stall with El Paso call-up Seth Mejias-Brean, sometimes a necessity when rosters expand in September, although the 24-year-old reliever looks to be quickly carving out a place of his own in the Padres’ bullpen.
