Homestand Highlights: July 12 - 17

Amarillo, TX – The Amarillo Sod Poodles will return to HODGETOWN for the start of a six-game series against the San Diego Padres Double-A affiliate, the San Antonio Missions starting Tuesday, July 12. This will be the last scheduled regular-season trip for the Missions to visit HODGETOWN in 2022. The Sod Poodles took four-of-six games when San Antonio visited in mid-April.

The Sod Poodles roster currently boasts six of the Arizona Diamondbacks’ top 30 prospects including five in the top 10 led by outfielder Corbin Carroll (No.1). Behind him are four of the current five starters in the Amarillo rotation in Blake Walston (No. 3), Bryce Jarvis (No. 6), Brandon Pfaadt (No. 8), and Slade Cecconi (No. 9). With a re-ranking of MLB Pipeline’s Top 100 prospects, Carroll made the jump to No. 3 overall, the highest-ranking of any Diamondbacks’ prospect under the current affiliation.

San Antonio is the current home of four of the Padres’ top 30 prospects led by Korry Howell (No. 12). RHP Kevin Kopps (No. 13), RHP Reggie Lawson (No.16), and OF Tirso Ornelas (No. 22) round out the list of players that might see some action against the Sod Poodles next week.
