Ranked as the 28th best prospect in baseball and the second-best within the San Diego Padres’ organization, Taylor Trammell is looking to make an impact as soon as this year. MLB Pipeline projects the 22-year-old to make his big-league debut at some point in the upcoming season, but he’s likely to begin the year at Triple-A El Paso.
The former 35th overall pick in the 2016 MLB Draft was acquired in the three-team trade that centered around Trevor Bauer heading to the Cincinnati Reds. He is projected to slide into center field, assuming his arm gets stronger as he physically matures, but could also profile as a corner outfielder.
