Players to Watch: San Francisco Giants vs. San Diego Padres
San Francisco Giants
Luis Arraez — 2B. Luis Arraez patrols second base for the Giants and pairs a contact-first approach with a .328 average and a .364 on-base percentage. His .447 slugging mark this season shows there’s more pop mixed into that swing than the batting average alone suggests.
Rafael Devers — 1B. Twenty-two home runs and 61 RBIs make Rafael Devers the Giants’ primary power source at first base this season. He’s hitting .248 overall, a number that undersells how often his swings turn into extra bases when he connects.
Willy Adames — SS. At shortstop, Willy Adames gives the Giants length in the lineup beyond the middle-of-the-order bats, with 18 home runs and 45 RBIs of his own this season. His .425 slugging percentage points to right-handed power from a position that doesn’t always provide it.
San Diego Padres
Fernando Tatis Jr. — RF. Fernando Tatis Jr. holds down right field for the Padres and is hitting .285 with a .353 on-base percentage this season. His .401 slugging percentage adds another layer to an all-around game built on more than just batting average.
Manny Machado — 3B. Third baseman Manny Machado has driven in 64 runs on the back of 23 home runs this season, anchoring the middle of the Padres’ order. His .214 batting average is the outlier in an otherwise productive year at the plate.
Jackson Merrill — CF. Jackson Merrill brings a different look to the Padres’ lineup from center field, pairing 21 stolen bases with 15 home runs and 48 RBIs this season. His .392 slugging percentage reflects a game built on both speed and pop rather than one or the other.
