With the June 15 amateur draft approaching at the speed of a Nolan Ryan fastball, San Diego Padres co-GM Dan S. indicated that left-hander Jon Matlack will likely be the No. 1 overall pick.

"We will be keeping the first pick in the draft and taking Jon Matlack on the condition that we can get him signed," the Padres' front office man said. "That is unless some team is willing to offer up two starting pitchers, one (being) a top of the rotation guy."

San Diego holds the No. 1 overall selection in the inaugural amateur draft by virtue of the worst record in the Joy in Mudville League.

Matlack and right-hander J.R. Richard, both 20, are considered to be the top pitchers in the draft.
