Alex McCoy is In the Derby!
The @Padres No. 26 prospect is ready to make some noise on the big stage. McCoy is tied for the AFL lead in homers (5) and made headlines when he recorded the fourth hardest hit ball in AFL tracking history (118.2 MPH)

Alex McCoy, undrafted in 2024.
110 wRC+ in High-A
120 wRC+ in Double-A
Putting up absurd EVs in the AFL.
HUGE dude (6'5 260)

Alex McCoy scorches a two-run homer 116.3 mph off the bat 🔥
The @Padres' No. 26 prospect already has the hardest-hit jack of the Fall League this year with a 118.2 mph rocket.

Braedon Karpathios continues to be one of the Padres’ more underrated prospects after a great 2026. He was one of four prospects in the organization to hit at least 15 HR and 70 RBI.
Karpathios does have his concerns with strikeouts and an overall lower Contact%, but has still managed back-to-back seasons with at least 15 home runs. While he struggled to end the year in Triple-A, he looked great in the last two months of the season.

A former fifth round pick of the 2023 draft, Jake Cunningham was tied for first in the Padres organization with 19 HR. His .233 ISO also led the system. He now ranks as a top-25 prospect in San Diego’s MLB Pipeline Top 30.
Cunningham showed the best power in the system, but is another name in this farm that struggles with an elevated K% and less consistent contact. It’ll be interesting to see how he follows up his big power surge next season.

Alex McCoy is another UDFA prospect featured on this list after a fantastic 2026. He was also tied for first in the organization with 19 HR, and paired the power with 24 SB.
An aggressive hitter, McCoy is another bat that struggles with swing-and-miss, but he’s still managed to produce. He killed right-handed pitching all year, and put up a great first half of the season before adding 18 extra-base hits in the second.

Ethan Salas made his long-awaited MLB debut this season after returning to form as one of the game’s best prospects. He was the only non-DSL Padres prospect under 21 years old to own a K% under 15% on the year.
Salas’ swing decisions and whiff avoidance is elite, especially for his age. His 16% K% at Double-A ranked him in the 90th percentile, while his 15.4% Whiff% put him in the 97th percentile. A remarkable bounce-back season.

It's early in the Arizona Fall League campaign but Alex McCoy has already displayed some impressive power.

Padres No. 26 prospect Alex McCoy destroys a baseball to pull the Javelinas within a run. Peoria trailed by six entering the fourth inning.

Ethan Salas is a one-man show 🍿
A 1.86-second pop-up time. Framing excellence. With the bat, an average EV over 90 mph.
Salas will have a major role for the Padres as they take on the Brewers in the NLDS 👀
