Yes, we know that this is taking a while!
As many of you know, we here at Notinhalloffame.com are slowly generating the top 50 of each major North American sports team. That being said, we have existing Top 50 lists out, and we always consistently look to update them when we can and based on necessity. As such, we are very happy to present our post-2023 revision of our top 50 San Diego Padres.
As for all of our top 50 players in baseball, we look at the following:
1. Advanced Statistics.
2. Traditional statistics and how they finished in Major League Baseball.
3. Playoff accomplishments.
4. Their overall impact on the team and other intangibles that are not reflected in a stat sheet.
Last year, the Padres were considered to be World Series contenders, but they failed even to make the playoffs while barely having a winning record. Nevertheless, there were three elevations and two new entrants to the list.
As always, we present our top five, which saw no changes:
1. Tony Gwynn
3. Jake Peavy
5. Randy Jones
You can find the entire list here.
Manny Machado, had a modest jump from #9 to #7.
Fernando Tatis Jr., who won his first Gold Glove last year, rocketed to #10 from #20.
Jake Cronenworth also rose, climbing to #34 from #39.
Making the list were reigning Cy Young winner, Blake Snell, who enters at #40, and current New York Yankee Outfielder, Trent Grisham, who debuts at #47.
We thank you for your continued support of our lists on Notinhalloffame.com.
