Maton had his contract selected by the Padres on Sunday.
Maton was picked in the 20th round of the 2015 draft and has breezed through the minors during his first three years of professional baseball. Over 25.1 innings of relief with Triple-A El Paso this season, the 24-year-old has posted a 2.84 ERA with a gaudy 29.8 strikeout percentage. He has been a dominant professional pitcher and will have the opportunity to display his prowess with the Padres moving forward.
