SAN DIEGO -- Padres manager Andy Green is fully aware his team is having trouble with the curve.
San Diego's young roster sees the second-most percentage of curveballs of any team in baseball, according to Statcast™. More concerning, though, is the Padres' .148 average against curveballs, the Majors' third-worst mark.
"We swing at them before we get to home plate a lot of times," Green said. "We have to become more disciplined as a team. I don't think there's anybody out there trying to chase breaking balls. Nobody goes up with that mentality, but it's a byproduct of the way the game is today.
