Entering day two of the Major League Baseball first-year player draft, there are plenty of “sleepers” available for the Padres to choose from.
The San Diego Padres continued their draft trend on Wednesday night, taking Independence high school outfielder Robert Hassell III. It is the fourth straight year where General Manager A.J. Preller has selected a high schooler with the club’s first-round pick.
