Dad’s Take on Yairo Padilla
Look at this kid posing like he's in some kind of baseball fashion show with that shiny holographic background! Kid's got a "silk defender" glove according to his bio, but from this glamour shot I can't tell if he's ready to turn a double play or walk a runway. Back in my day, prospect cards showed you actually fielding the ball, not striking a pose like you're auditioning for a boy band!
