The San Diego Padres offense has been quite the roller coaster ride this season. Until recently, they’ve collectively led the league in strikeouts (which at this point, I can say is only a bad thing when your team is last in the division but when Aaron Judge does it, it’s called being aggressive at the plate) now that honor instead belongs to the Texas Rangers.
At the same time, Christian Villanueva, Eric Hosmer, and Travis Jankowski have been heating up, and currently leading the team in WAR. Then there’s Franmil Reyes, who is just now showing us how easy it is for him to rip the seams off a baseball and bury it in the upper deck.
