San Diego Padres top pitching prospect Robby Snelling was named the 2023 Minor League Pitcher of the Year but has struggled this season.
Robby Snelling seemed unstoppable. He was named Nevada Gatorade Baseball Player of the Year in 2021, received Division I football offers and was slated to play baseball at LSU before being drafted in the supplemental draft by the San Diego Padres in 2022. In his first season in the minor leagues, he dominated on the mound, posting an 11-3 record with a 1.82 ERA. After a strong first season, Snelling was named the 2023 Minor League Pitcher of the Year and was ranked as the No.
However, with the higher competition in Double-A, he’s had to adjust to make it more effective. Snelling said some of his throwing metrics were different coming into this season, but he’s had to get comfortable with not always throwing his best. “It’s not easy to come in and learn new pitches and refine stuff that worked well for you last year,” Snelling said. “But it’s something that you need to do to get better and that you’re going to need to be able to focus on.
