Yes, we know that this is taking a while!
As many of you know, we 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 and consistently look to update them when necessary and based on necessity. As such, we are delighted to present our post-2024 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 the National League.
3. Playoff accomplishments.
4. Their overall impact on the team and other intangibles that are not reflected in a stat sheet.
Please note that our algorithm has changed, which yielded minor changes throughout the baseball lists.
Last year, the Padres won 93 Games and made it to the Division Series, where they lost to the eventual World Series Champions, the Los Angeles Dodgers. There were four new entrants bases on 2024, and several elevations.
As always, we present our top five, which saw one change based on the new algorithm.
1. Tony Gwynn
4. Jake Peavy
5. Randy Jones
You can find the entire list here.
Winfield moved ahead of Peavy to claim the #3 spot.
Infielder Manny Machado climbed one spot to #6.
Another Infielder, Fernando Tatis Jr., moved to #7 from #10.
The first of four new entrants is Infielder, Ha-Seong Kim, who is now with Tampa. He enters at #25, and was erroneously left off last year’s revision.
Second Baseman Jake Cronenworth advanced to #28 from #34.
Pitcher Blake Snell, who is now with the Giants, climbed to #34 from #40.
Outfielder Jurickson Profar, who is now an Atlanta Brave, debuts at #42.
Pitcher Joe Musgrove enters at #43.
Pitcher Yu Darvish begins his Padres list at #44.
We thank you for your continued support of our lists on Notinhalloffame.com.
