Padres Take a Chance on Triple-Digit Heat with 21st Overall Pick in June MLB Mock Draft

It's time to check back in with another San Diego Padres mock draft. The MLB Draft is just five weeks away. This class is as muddled as any I've covered, though it's plenty deep in talent. You can find our mock consensus board here. Let's check in on some player profiles it's currently mocking to the Padres with their first few picks in July.

Draft aficionados will be used to the concept of a cold weather arms rising throughout the cycle. They don't all look like Brody Bumila, though. The 6'9 two-sport star committed to Texas has been making waves in recent weeks.

Padres Mock Draft, No 21: Brody Bumila, LHP, Bishop Feehan HS, MA

As you might expect from such a unique frame, there's unique stuff to match. Bumila relies on a fastball that has been as high as 101 mph. It sits in the high 90s, coming at hitters from a drop-and-drive delivery and a lower launch, with good ride at the top of the zone making it a nightmare for prep hitters in MA.

There's plenty of work to do on the secondary arsenal. Bumila relies most heavily on a changeup, thrown in the low 80s, but he'll mix in a slider and a curveball too. This is a size and stuff over polish prep arm in what could be one of the higher risk, higher reward plays of the entire class.

Padres Mock Draft, No. 97: Tyson LeBlanc, SS, Kansas

LeBlanc has had a sensational year at Kansas after spending his first two collegiate seasons at Louisiana State Eunice.

He's a rapid riser up draft boards with a solid blend of skills, tools, and production. Setting up from the right side of the plate, LeBlanc has a marginally open stance with an ear high hand set. He has a modified toe tap in his swing, twisting his foot into the ground before unleashing a swing underpinned by good bat speed.

There's a good combination of bat-to-ball skills and batted ball data here. LeBlanc has crushed 24 home runs and counting entering Super Regional play, to go with a 140 wRC+. The only real orange flag on offense is a chase rate higher than you'd like to see, though it's not unmanageable.

LeBlanc has solid supplementary tools. He should steal a dozen bases or so a year, with above-average speed. He has good actions in the infield to pair with an above-average arm. While he likely won't stick at shortstop at the next level, he should find a home on the dirt somewhere. He's been one of the most well-rounded college hitters in the country in 2026.
