Positives From This Season
After needing a while to get more healthy from his offseason elbow surgical procedure, Machado had top-of-the-line second halves within the recreation. The 32-year-old really drove in additional runs (53, in six fewer video games) than he did within the second half of his ought to’ve been MVP season in 2022 (51). After 13 residence runs in his first 91 video games, Machado went yard 16 instances in his remaining 61 video games of the common season.
He set San Diego’s franchise report for homers in Seattle and continued to make performs that maybe no different third baseman could make.
Machado drove in two runs to assist the Padres sweep their Wild Card Collection vs. Atlanta after which homered early in Sport 1 of the NLDS. His speech to the workforce throughout NLDS Sport 2 occurred simply earlier than San Diego scored six runs within the remaining two innings of their blowout win at Dodger Stadium.
Negatives From This Season
I’m not going to harp on the start of his season as a result of he was clearly compromised. Nonetheless, when the Padres had two possibilities to shut out Los Angeles in Video games 4 and 5 of the NLDS, he went 0-for-7 with three strikeouts.
In fact he wasn’t the one man who struggled however he’s the captain of the workforce so a number of the eye goes to go in the direction of him.
