Padres pitcher Jacob Nix was arrested and charged with criminal trespassing earlier this week after reportedly attempting to break into an Arizona house through the dog door, prompting the homeowner to kick Nix in the face and then tase him.

Nix, 23, was arrested around 3:30 a.m. on Oct. 6, along with fellow San Diego pitching prospect Thomas Cosgrove, 23, a Staten Island native who attended Manhattan College. Cosgrove reportedly pulled Nix from the dog door after the homeowner’s attack, and the pair were found a few blocks from the house in Peoria, Ariz.

The Padres released a statement addressing the incident:

“We are aware of the alleged incident involving Jacob Nix last Sunday in Arizona. We take this matter seriously and have been in contact with the Commissioner’s Office and local authorities. Due to the ongoing legal proceedings, we will not have any further comment at this time.”

Nix, a 2015 third-round pick, appeared in nine games with the Padres in 2018, and just six minor league games this year, missing most of this season due to injury. Cosgrove, a 12th-round pick in 2017, has yet to pitch above Single-A. Both had been pitching in the Arizona Fall League.
