On the other side, Julio Rodríguez of the Mariners has shown why he's considered one of the most exciting young talents in baseball. With an impressive ability to hit for both power and average, Rodríguez's dynamic presence on the field could pose a significant challenge for the Padres' pitchers.


For the Padres, another standout performer has been Fernando Tatis Jr., whose speed and power make him a multifaceted threat. Tatis Jr.'s agility on the bases and his knack for making big plays when it matters most have been crucial for the Padres.
