If one is watching the San Diego Padres, something that stands out is how their players communicate with each other whenever it’s their turn at-bat.
The communication can be seen mostly when someone strikes out and gives the on-deck batter a quick scouting report. The Padres are not alone in the technique but they happen to do a better job of it than the two teams ahead of them in the National League West standings, according to former Los Angeles Dodgers and Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder David Peralta.
“That’s what winning teams do — communicate, help each other,” Peralta said, via the San Diego Union-Tribune.
