It\u2019s certainly a little early to anoint Elliot Lascelles as the Padres\u2019 next shortstop of the future.<\/p>\n
So let\u2019s leave it at this: The 18-year-old began his professional career on Tuesday on the right foot.<\/p>\n
Lascelles collected three hits in his first game at low Single-A Lake Elsinore in a 9-2 loss<\/a> to visiting San Jos\u00e9 on Tuesday.<\/p>\n Among Lascelles\u2019 first hits was a triple in his third at-bat. He had singles in each of his first two at-bats, swiped his first base and played nine innings at shortstop in his first professional game as a pro.<\/p>\n The Padres drafted Lascelles 60th overall in the second round last month and signed him for $2.8 million, an over-slot deal that was a bonus pool era record for a Canadian high school position player<\/a>.<\/p>\n Lascelles was committed to Yale.<\/p>\n Center fielder Dawson Willis (.882 OPS) went 2-for-4 with a triple and a run scored and designated hitter Chris McHugh (1.098 OPS) went 2-for-4.<\/p>\n Right-hander Jesus A. Castro (2-4, 4.32 ERA) allowed five runs in four innings in the loss.<\/p>\n Lake Elsinore is 61-54.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Tuesday\u2019s scoreboard<\/p>\n TRIPLE-A EL PASO (49-71)<\/p>\n Round Rock 5, Chihuahuas 3:<\/a> LF Samad Taylor (oblique) began rehab assignment, going 0-for-3 with a walk and two strikeouts.
