Scouting Report: JP Sears
San Diego Padres | SP
Overall
Summary
JP Sears, 30-year-old left-handed pitcher in the San Diego Padres organization, recently delivered a strong performance for Triple-A El Paso Chihuahuas against Tacoma Rainiers. After struggling with a 7.00 ERA through his first six starts of the season, Sears allowed just one unearned run on two hits with eight strikeouts in a quality outing. However, he remains in the minors despite significant injuries to the Padres' rotation (Musgrove, Pivetta out). Reports suggest the Padres may be considering moving on from Sears as a trade chip, given his inconsistent performance (5.47 ERA in 2025) and lack of MLB call-up despite organizational depth needs.
Strengths
- Strong recent performance: 8 strikeouts, 2 hits allowed, 1 unearned run in latest start
- Demonstrated ability to bounce back after poor start to season (7.00 ERA through 6 starts)
