The San Diego Padres kept one of their draft picks in the family Wednesday when they chose Glenn Hoffman’s son—and Trevor Hoffman’s nephew—with one of their final selections in the 2019 MLB Draft.
Dylan Hoffman is a right-handed pitcher from Waldorf College in Iowa. Scouting reports on the 24-year-old weren’t immediately available.
But he certainly comes with an excellent pedigree. Glenn Hoffman has been coaching third base for the Padres since 2006, and before that briefly managed the Los Angeles Dodgers and played for nine years as a shortstop.
Trevor Hoffman, of course, is one of the best-known players in Padres history.
