How historically bad has Manny Machado been for the Padres this year?
HIS CURRENT BATTING AVG IS WORSE THAN JAKE PEAVY’s (a pitcher) PADRES CAREER! (.180).
There have been 556 Padres hitters w/ 250+ PAs in an individual season since 1969 (Padres’ inception).
Manny Machado’s 2026 AVG of .169 currently ranks 554th.
Only 1974 Dave Roberts and 1973 Rich Morales were worse.
Worse than the worst seasons of Austin Hedges, Brett Wallace, Ruben Rivera. Worse than Elias Diaz last year.
His .596 OPS this season is worse than the Padres careers of Alexi Amarista, Will Middlebrooks, Austin Hedges, Jose Azocar, and Austin Nola.
His 72 wRC+ is worse than Jose Iglesias last year.
Manny has been NUCLEAR-LEVEL terrible.

Someone is going to lose their job with Manny Machado’s struggles:
He is now hitting .169 with a .596 OPS nearly halfway through the season as the Padres are in a free fall.
