Recent Performance Trends


Analyzing the Padres' performance in their past few outings reveals a team with potential that's yet to be fully realized. Despite showcasing solid defensive skills with a perfect fielding percentage in one game and demonstrating strategic base running with a 100 percent steal success rate, the Padres have struggled offensively. Their batting average has hovered around .206 and .194 in two recent games, indicating difficulty in capitalizing on scoring opportunities. This is further highlighted by their low slugging percentages and minimal extra-base hits.


Pitching has been a brighter spot for the team, with an ERA of 1.0 over nine innings indicating effective mound presence. However, consistency remains key as they aim to support their pitchers by tightening up both offense and defense.
