Padres To Shut Down Chris Paddack

By Connor Byrne | September 17, 2019 at 9:49pm CDT

As expected, the Padres have brought an early end to star rookie Chris Paddack’s season. The right-hander’s start against the Brewers on Tuesday will go down as his last of the year, Kevin Acee of the San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

Paddack concluded his season in excellent fashion, tossing five innings of one-run, one-hit ball with nine strikeouts against a single walk in the Padres’ loss in Milwaukee. It was the fourth straight outstanding performance by the 23-year-old Paddack, who yielded a mere two earned runs and totaled 32 strikeouts versus four walks in his last four appearances – a 23 1/3-inning span.

After joining the Padres in a heist of a trade with the Marlins back in 2016, Paddack quickly rose up the ranks to become one of the game’s most coveted young arms. And though Paddack underwent Tommy John surgery shortly after switching organizations, it’s evident he’s all the way back at this point. The 2015 eighth-round pick amassed a professional-high 140 2/3 frames this year, notching a 3.33 ERA/3.96 FIP with 9.79 K/9 and 1.98 BB/9 in the process.

Now, with San Diego out of contention as the season winds to a close, the team understandably wants to preserve a hurler who could be a front-line starter for the long haul. The Padres’ playoff drought will sit at an embarrassing 13 years after this season, but if they’re going to return to relevance sometime soon, it seems likely Paddack will have quite a bit of say in it.

      Everyone was all over Crick about that locker room fight. But Vasquez started it and appears to be much more than that. Good riddance clown.

    Paddack had a few rough patches, but overall great season.

    uhh yea so I’m here to talk about CHRIS PADDACK.. took a flyer on him with my fantasy team back in May I think, so I’ve followed his season pretty closely. This guy is going to be a steamroller in the coming years, ERAs in the 2s, maybe less, 200-300 Ks if he gets the innings. Bravo Paddack love this guy’s character too. San Diego is lucky, or shrewd lol

      Considering the Machado, Hosmer, and Myers contracts, the Padres are not shrewd. This winter they’ll sign Porcello and further prove my point.
      Paddock has the potential to be special so it’s too bad he has to play for such a hapless franchise.

        They’re not going to sign Porcello, too old. But following their pattern, they find someone to overpay on a long term contract.

          Porcello right up Preller alley aka Garret Richards could see him giving Rick 60 mil plus. Preller loves high risk low return free agents.

      I got laughed at drafting him in the 16th round of a keeper league. The players taken after him were Strahm, Eovaldi, Arrieta and Gausman, yet somehow I was the fool.

    It’s the right decision. He’s gonna be a good pitcher for years to come but when it’s late in the season and no playoff hope, that’s a good time to get other young guys who haven’t played much some experience. That or old vets that’s contracts are about to expire and you want to squeeze your last penny out of them and not risk getting someone injured. Lol
