  The Padres have extended De Vries an invitation to major-league camp during spring training. De Vries is only 18 and spent the entirety of the 2024 season at Single-A Lake Elsinore, so he is not under real consideration to make the Padres' Opening Day roster. However, San Diego did want to give the youngster a look this spring. Fellow top prospect Ethan Salas will also be in big-league camp.

• Padres' Leodalis De Vries: Included on Fall League roster

  09/25/2024 • By RotoWire

  The Padres list De Vries (shoulder) as one the organization's eight prospects on the Peoria Javelinas' Arizona Fall League roster, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports. A right shoulder strain prevented De Vries from playing in any games for Single-A Lake Elsinore after Aug. 17, but his inclusion on the Peoria roster implies that he's expected to be healthy by the time Arizona Fall League play gets underway Oct. 7. De Vries won't turn 18 years old until next month, but the infielder has already established himself as one of the top lower-level prospects in baseball after slashing .237/.361/.441 with 11 home runs and 13 stolen bases in 360 plate appearances in the California League this season.

• Padres' Leodalis De Vries: Struggling in Single-A ball

  05/02/2024 • By RotoWire

  De Vries is slashing .148/.303/.259 with a 30.3 percent strikeout rate through seven games with Single-A Lake Elsinore. San Diego was aggressive in placing De Vries in Single-A as a 17-year-old, and the prized international prospect began his professional career by going 4-for-13 with four RBI over his first three games. However, he's gone 0-for-14 with six strikeouts over his subsequent four contests, highlighting the inevitable growing pains given his age. On a positive note, De Vries has compiled a 15.2 percent walk rate thus far, so he's at least demonstrating some patience at the plate.
