With one look at the Padres prospect in action, it&#8217;s easy to recognize that there is nothing typical about his game. Ornelas, along with TinCaps teammates <a href=\"https:\/\/www.baseball-reference.com\/register\/player.fcgi?id=lopez-000jus&amp;utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">Justin Lopez<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.baseball-reference.com\/search\/search.fcgi?pid=arias-002gab,arias-001gab&amp;search=Gabriel+Arias&amp;utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">Gabriel Arias<\/a> make up the Midwest League&#8217;s youngest trio of players. But don&#8217;t let the age fool you, Ornelas is equipped with an advanced bat and a swing from the left side of the plate that has evaluators eager for the future.<\/p>\n<p>Count San Diego Padres manager <a href=\"https:\/\/www.baseball-reference.com\/players\/g\/greenan01.shtml?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">Andy Green<\/a> as one of the many baseball minds Ornelas has impressed in his short time in professional baseball.\u00a0\u201cIn my estimation, (Ornelas) is one of our top outfield prospects,\u201d Green told FriarWire. \u201cHe&#8217;s got power, but he also has plate discipline. He walked at a 17 percent clip in the minor leagues last year in his first year of (pro) baseball.\u201d Despite being the second youngest player in the Midwest League,Ornelas has produced solid numbers and put on impressive power displays in batting practice since his arrival in Fort Wayne. Scouts began taking notice of his unique blend of power and athleticism last season in rookie ball where he produced an impressive .804 OPS across 238 plate appearances.<\/p>\n<p>Through 53 games in Low-A this season, the Tijuana native has slugged five home runs and collected 17 extra-base hits along the way. Ornelas has been red-hot over the last 30 games slashing .294\/.390\/.529 while striking out just 16 times in just under 100 at-bats. Opposing pitchers have noticed his refined, yet aggressive approach as they&#8217;ve begun to pitch the young slugger away during his plate appearances since he&#8217;s proven to be able to cover middle in with ease. TinCaps manager Anthony Contreras has emphasized &#8220;not missing your pitch when you get it&#8221; and being ready to &#8220;handle the fastball early in the count&#8221;, advice that has improved Ornelas&#8217; plate discipline during his recent hot-streak.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-lang=\"en\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Tirso Ornelas battles back from an 0-2 count to collect the TinCaps first hit. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/QyIwtaG3lK\">pic.twitter.com\/QyIwtaG3lK<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 madfriars (@madfriars) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/madfriars\/status\/1006326410213056513?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">June 12, 2018<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>What began as a relatively anonymous journey through the <a class=\"wpil_keyword_link\" href=\"http:\/\/www.prospects1500.com\/san-diego-padres\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" title=\"Padres\">Padres<\/a> system has now found him ranked as the organization&#8217;s 11th best prospect according to Fangraphs.\u00a0\u00a0\u201cOrnelas doesn&#8217;t project to have elite raw power, but he&#8217;ll get to whatever power he does have because of how often he squares the ball up, and he should do enough damage to profile in (left field or right field),\u201d Fangraphs prospect expert Eric Longenhagen wrote. \u201cHe&#8217;s more likely to succeed than any of the other <a class=\"wpil_keyword_link\" href=\"http:\/\/www.prospects1500.com\/san-diego-padres\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" title=\"Padres\">Padres<\/a> prospects at Fort Wayne because he&#8217;s the most advanced hitter.\u201d At just 18 years-old, Ornelas has plenty of time to ready his game for the major leagues and with the depth of San Diego&#8217;s system, their more than willing to let him spend more time at a lower level developing than most clubs have the luxury of doing.

His approach is advanced for Low-A, but the Rays are slow to promote their players, so it&#8217;s conceivable that Hernandez might see an entire year of Midwest League pitching before a promotion is considered.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.baseball-reference.com\/register\/player.fcgi?id=kirill000ale&amp;utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">Alex Kirilloff<\/a><\/strong>, <em>OF, Twins (Cedar Rapids)<\/em>: The 2016 first-round pick blasted his 11th home run of the season last week and is hitting a stout .321\/.383\/.584 on the year.

Gore was impressive in his first inning of work, striking out the side and locating his fastball with ease. He mostly sat 92-93 mph, but did run a couple of fastballs that hit 95 on the radar.

No worries sports fans. As always, it&#8217;s important to remember that age-to-level is paramount when assessing minor league talent.

Sandoval has found success commanding his low 90&#8217;s fastball and parlayed that into 1.64 ERA over his last five starts (22 IP). He&#8217;s also racked up 23 Ks against just 4 walks over that same period.
