Scouting Report
The Padres certainly surprised some folks by taking another left-handed prep pitcher following their selection of Kash Mayfield in the 2024 class. However, the Padres were sold on Bateman as they signed him for nearly a million dollars over the slot value to get him in their system as the 52nd overall pick. Bateman was a product of Adolfo Camarillo High School in California, where he was committed to LSU. Bateman is 19 years old, turning 20 in September, and is pitching alongside Mayfield in the Low-A league.
The first thing that stands out for Bateman is the physical profile. He stands at 6'8" and 240 pounds, but moves surprisingly well for his size. The delivery is a pretty easy operation, as there isn't any added arm action, but he does create some deception with his arm slot and slight cross-fire action, while getting plenty of extension due to his long levers. In terms of delivery and physical profile, he draws similarities to Garrett Crochet. As for the pitch mix, Bateman features a fastball, curveball, and a changeup. The fastball sits comfortably in the mid-90s and has topped out at 98 mph. The curveball is his premier secondary offering and his best pitch, but he has also started working on a hard slider. The changeup is fringy, but it will complete his arsenal if he develops a feel for it.
