You knew it was going to happen. You just didn’t know exactly when.
Fort Wayne, IN - Right-hander Mat Latos, one of the San Diego Padres top prospects in their minor league system, will join the Fort Wayne Wizards pitching staff today . . . Latos entered the 2008 season as the third-best minor league prospect in the Padres organization, as ranked by Baseball America. He spent the 2007 season with the Eugene Emeralds of the Northwest League, where he was ranked as the top prospect in the league, also by Baseball America.
Latos went 1-4 with a 3.83 earned run average last season after being drafted in 2006 by the Padres in the 11th round. In 16 games, including 13 starts, he allowed 58 hits, walked 22 and struck out 74 over the span of 56.1 innings. His 74 strikeouts were tied for third in the Northwest League.
