Overall: The Padres signed the Venezuelan righty for $700,000, which made him the top arm in their 2019 class. Medina already can get the heater into the mid-90s, and should be able to pop higher than that as he adds strength to his already sturdy frame. Medina is a good athlete that repeats his delivery very well, and reports out of instructs were encouraging about the young righty, but reports on his velo had him more in the low-90s. In addition to his fastball he also throws a slider and a changeup from a near over the top arm slot. He has a future as a potential mid-rotation arm or backend reliever.
