Padres prospect Alex McCoy hit a 503-foot homer in the AFL Home Run Derby but lost in the first round.
McCoy, the Padres' No. 26 prospect playing for the Peoria Javelinas, was knocked out 12-7 by Aaron Parker of the Toronto Blue Jays organization, who went on to win the derby. According to Gaslamp Ball, McCoy's strikeouts are the main concern, and he is still a way off from Petco Park.

Fan site grades Casey Mize an F for his Padres stint after a 7.46 ERA in 10 starts.
In a series grading the Padres' 40-man roster, Gaslamp Ball and SB Nation both ran the same piece on Mize, who was traded from Detroit to San Diego. With the Padres he pitched 44.2 innings with a 1.68 WHIP and allowed more homers in 10 starts than he did in all of 2024. Scouts reportedly believed he was pitching through a groin injury, and he also hurt an ankle after twisting it on the dugout steps.

He beat out Gavin Sheets and Nick Castellanos for the starting first base job after fighting for a roster spot in spring training. The grade is an opinion from the Gaslamp Ball fan site, which is grading the full 40-man roster.
