The San Diego Padres are fortunate to have Matt Szczur. Whether its pinch-running, pinch-hitting or guarding the outfield, Szczur can do it all. Andy Green was spot-on in identifying Szczur’s worth and rewarding him with a roster slot to start the 2018 season.
Matt Szczur is a versatile piece for the San Diego Padres. A complete athlete on the field, Szczur brings with him a lot of tools he acquired while playing wide receiver, running back, wildcat quarterback, and return specialist for the Villanova Wildcats football team.
The Friars acquired Szczur from the Chicago Cubs in the middle of 2017 season for Double-A pitcher Justin Hancock.
