Once again, the San Diego Padres are in dead last. With just over three weeks left in the regular season, the Friars have posted a team on-base percentage of .296, three points behind the Baltimore Orioles, who sit in 29th. They are the only two teams in Major League Baseball with team OBPs under .300.
Obviously, the odds that any home run hit by a member of the Padres is of the solo variety are extremely high. In fact, 65% of all home runs hit by the Padres this season have been solo home runs. However, that’s not the highest mark in the league.
